It may be counterintuitive, but it is best not to be the smartest person in the room. Many people say that if a business leader believes they are the smartest person in the room, they should find a different room.

Online dealerships are working with multiple tiers of customers, online visitors, suppliers and showcase experts. This complicates matters significantly, requiring daily check-ins and expensive in-house resources. Added to that, bloating up your staff count increases insurance costs and payroll for services that you may not need at the time. That’s why it’s ideal to go for outsourcing your accounting and financial services needs.

Our guest today is Grant Hensel, CEO, NonprofitMegaphone. Grant, lots of startups leverage remote work and freelancers at the very beginning to save costs. Is this the case with NonprofitMegaphone, too? When I started NonprofitMegaphone, I structured our work environment to be fully remote. Since we were such a small company at the beginning, I knew that we would not be able to afford rent and utilities so creating a 100% remote environment was immediately very attractive to us.
