Imagine how big you want your business in a few years, then establishing relationships and then display the flow of information between jobs or relationships. Now, define these relationships with job descriptions. As sales manager, marketing manager, accounting, and then when you know people who need to hire, create a detailed job description for each. Of course you will not need to take these people immediately, because you continue to do the most work.
