The sooner you find the help you need the less stressed you will be. How many times have you waited until you were close to a deadline and then said "if I only had help"! The problem is if you wait until you are close to the deadline to get help how are you going to now have time to train that individual to accomplish the tasks needed? I would review this using a simply math equation; cost to hire early versus the cost of not getting the project done. If you will make more as a company and it also allows you to reach your annual budgets goals then why not start now! Some times we spend so much time thinking about todays bottom line that we lose focus on tomorrows.
