Multiplying your skills

As a rural entrepreneur, you need to wear several hats. Even more than your city cousins would in the same situation. You don't have the support services available.

But at some point you will need to hire someone. Usually you hire a friend or neighbor. That gives you someone you can trust.

But your friends probably have skills similar to yours. So the hire just repeats you.

The Nauvoo Commuter recommends casting the net wider. Make hiring a strategy rather than a rash reaction. Be deliberate.
