I would have people identify whether they're a drink the Kool-Aid business or not. Because if you are, then you need to hire differently than you do for just a road like getting your books done. People that do our books have to figure out, okay, they need to love the fact that we're giving huge checks every month, writing them to giving partners. That's not easy when you're running finance.

There's a lot of things that happen in the small business that – I think kind of being part of the team really at your core and you can't ask someone, you can't pay someone enough to do that. You can't ask someone to be that. And that's where hiring becomes a problem for me because I don't know whoever, whoever it's going to be. And I never, you know, I lose people. I'm not mad at them.

I'm not mad at myself. I hear them when they say you're these five things that are awful. I said, thank you. Yes. I'll try to work harder on those. But then the next person, you know, You'll have the same...

Yeah, letting go. I'm pretty good at letting go. I'm pretty... But I guess I'm also... Because I'm a mom and I'm all those things, you know, I know how to, you see something goes wrong, you fix it, you move on. You fix it, you move on. That's a learned trait. And I, you know, most people you work with don't know that yet. That, you know, like we just had something fall apart completely.

And my executive team was like, okay, well, I've got a photo shoot. I've got a meeting. I've got like, they all had things to do that day. And I was like, oh, hi, everyone. No, regroup.

Concentrate. Fix this. Like, it's like you're going down a river and there's a big boulder in the river. Okay. You're still floating down the river, but you can get around the boulder. Like you can't do anything about that. It's the same thing. You need to get that issue taken care of, put that fire out and then move it aside and don't concentrate it on it anymore.

A lot of people on my team, we have fires and we, God, we got to put the fire out, we got to put the fire out, we got to put the fire out, and then they go ahead and do their thing while the fire is burning. And I think it's learned that you need to get rid of the fire, move it aside, no matter how it, it may come back to you and it may rear its head again and you may lose the opportunity.

That might just be what happens with it, but don't let it sit there. And I think With hiring people and training people, it takes time to give people the confidence to And build up their confidence enough to have them be the ones saying to me, no, Lee, we're not doing that right now. We're fixing this problem. That's what I really want to see in people.
