And that's, you know, that's all about
putting yourself in front of the right investors and the right deals and putting yourself in a position where you can have the best operating margins.
I think the flip side of that, if you will, is what can go wrong, what can make it pull apart.
And it's bad hires.
You know, you have to and it's hard to do, but you have to hire slow and fire quickly.
A lot, you know, some people are good at hire fast, fire fast.
But, you know, you have to be really deliberate about hiring and move through that process slower than you think.
You know, it's what happens is we think, oh, we're growing.
We've got a need.
We got to get somebody in there.
We got to add a person.
And you don't go through your process.
You don't spend enough time making sure it's a cultural fit.
You don't really scope the position out correctly.
And sometimes you'll get the wrong person.
Sometimes you do it all right.
You'll get the wrong person, which takes me to the second part, which is like when you figure out you've got the wrong person, make a decision.
You're not doing yourself or them any favors to keep them around.
If they're wrong, I think, you know, the wrong hires, bad hires are the number one place where scaling falls apart.
And it's hard, like hiring the right people at the right time is to me the hardest part of scaling because there's, you know, Jim Collins talks about this in Good to Great, you know, having the right people on the bus in the right seat.
