Hiring is the most important, high leverage activity in entrepreneurship. A high value hire can make you millions. A low value hire can cost you millions. This is the truth.
Hiring employees who are good individual contributors is extremely important. Hiring managers who can lead others without you involved is even better. As a business owner, you need a mix of both. That said, there is nothing more fun than watching my teams build teams…
Almost all employees want structure. They want to be told what to do and how to win inside of your org. They want to crush it for your company from 9-5 and then they want to go home and forget about work and be with their friends and family. And that’s okay! As a business…
Want to make more money while you sleep? You need to learn to hire and build a team. If you don’t do this, every problem will start and stop with you. You will become the bottleneck for every decision and task that needs to get done. You’ll have virtually no free time and…
A client of ours who runs a construction company was looking to hire a procurement manager to join their team. They needed this person to: -Find and qualify key vendors and subcontractors for specific jobs. -Discuss the requirements of projects in detail to these vendors…
As a leader and manager, I have 1 job: Set my employees up for success and remove anything that stands in the way of them becoming a 10x employee who can come to work and crush it for me all day long. Remember, 10x employees just want to succeed and grow. Don't be the…
Many first-time entrepreneurs are dreamers. They want to sit back and work on "strategy" and "delegation" before they have real revenue. The best entrepreneurs focus on sales first and delegation second. They know that making consistent revenue and profit is what enables them…
Most business owners don’t realize how much value one great employee can add. These folks free up your time, provide new ideas and perspectives, and get more done without you involved. I’ve personally seen countless examples of how a few great hires have transformed some of our…

I’m doing a free workshop today for business owners/execs - sharing my delegation playbook: - the 1 metric management method - how to not f*ck up hires - my virtual assistant playbook You should come - It’s at 11am PT/2pm ET I use this method in every business I run, and…
Delegation is a fight against your own ego. You aren't the only person who can do this exact job. There are many talented people all over the world who would love to help grow your business. EAs, VAs, Designers, Engineers, Bookkeepers and Accountants, Sales Reps, Customer…
If you want to learn to delegate, you need to make your first hire. You can think about it, plan for it, and strategize around it, but nothing compares to writing a simple job description, interviewing various candidates, and hiring someone to join your team. Want the lowest…
Last year a boutique law firm approached us about hiring a sales rep. They needed someone to bring in new clients. The US based candidates that they were considering for this role were in the $80-120K/year range. They needed this person to: -Cold email and cold call…
80% of the employees in my portfolio are located in LATAM and the Philippines. $5-9 per hour for exceptional talent from operations to web design to collections and customer service. Even my real estate company is 75%+ overseas employees. If you run a company and you DON'T…
The best way to get your top employees to stay forever: • Surround your top talent with other A players. • Make decisions quickly and keep the momentum going. • Provide new opportunities to learn and grow over time. If you do these 3 things, your team will love working for…
Some accounts that are "must follows" here if you want to get smarter and better at business:
In the early days of starting a company, you have to get your hands dirty and do the work yourself. Delegate too soon and your company might fail. Make money first and delegate when the cash flow starts to pile up.
Last year a consulting firm was looking for a project and operations coordinator. They needed this person to: -Take charge of the overall master schedule of projects, along with those in the proposal and approval stages. -Help assign tasks to individual contributors and then…
One week and one day till this event!
Last year, we had a client who was an independent contractor who was getting tired of managing the admin related tasks of his small business. He wanted a skilled executive assistant to help him manage the day-to-day operations remotely. He needed this person to: - Schedule…

This is a fact. People who disagree (and many do) do not have experience building a successful company. Structure is good.
Almost all employees want structure. They want to be told what to do and how to win inside of your org. They want to crush it for your company from 9-5 and then they want to go home and forget about work and be with their friends and family. And that’s okay! As a business…
Yes but so few do this. Thinking outside the box has corrupted so many things… tell people what to do and when - sounds easy but so hard.

@weareshepherd Clarification here, they want to be told what to do, but not how to do it, importantly to distinguish between the two.
@weareshepherd I completely agree! This is team management 101. The employees have only rented the owner 8-9 hours of their daily time. How they use that time, is entirely up to the business owner. Creating robust systems and structures to get the best work from the team, is crucial!

Real talk. This is true and I’ve seen so many entrepreneurs try to skip right to visionary. You must get your hands dirty.

@weareshepherd So true. Your main focus should be on sales. Period.
@weareshepherd "Being strategic" is over-valued You're saying you want to sit around, think at talk about stuff? sounds like lots of meetings Business value is in relentless execution toward revenue outcomes
@weareshepherd Getting that sales hustle right from the start is the only way to eventually chill and strategize.
@weareshepherd Gotta get that cash flowing first!
