2.20 Why taking on your first employee is good for business, the economics and the future of entrepreneurship

Susan Hayes Culleton - The Positive Economist

There are many barriers that people perceive to taking on their first employee - financial concerns, lack of confidence, fear of uncharted territory and little understanding of what exactly needs to happen. Susan Hayes Culleton co-founder of The Positive Economist will put it all into perspective for us as she candidly shares some of her early experiences and insights about what the self-employed process and journey feels like. She will share tips, tools and techniques that complement the resources launched by “Ambition to Employ” and give you the “hearts and minds” reason why this project is important to sole traders, financial markets, economics and the future of entrepreneurship.

Susan is managing director of the Hayes Culleton Group, co-founder of The Positive Economist, an author (Positive Economics, Savvy Woman’s Guide to Financial Freedom, The Savvy Guide to Making More Money) and an associate Lecturer at Ulster University. Susan is also the inspiring and enthusiastic presenter of the Savvy Women Online podcast. A strategist and thought leader, Susan also serves on the boards of the Irish International Business Network and the Ireland Hong Kong Business Forum.
