I have something to do.
So to find that character, that person that's going to be part of your tribe and then get them used to how the tribe operates, even if they're willing and they just don't know and it's like, this is how things work.
it takes time and i think that sometimes in business we we look at cost first we go like well if i hire someone now for six months what if they're not producing the dollar i need them but by the time you need them your rate of dollar is so much higher because you're now losing money by not having them so so you're technically hurting yourself more and your dollar your personal worth in your business is more because the business making more money and now you have to give your time to training someone
at a time where it's just not a fit.
So I always say like having a pool of people like I have always hiring sign basically in all my companies, like we're always hiring every position all the time.
And people are like, well, what if you have them and they've been here eight years?
I'm like, I'm not replacing them.
I'm looking at growth.
I'm looking at can I bring someone to challenge them, maybe compete with them, maybe even try to double sales that way.
Maybe I should look at a person that is really like it's going to be so hard to find them when I need them.
So maybe I need to keep them in reserve, even if they're not really doing anything.
Maybe if the character is there.
And I'm going to need to go through 100 interviews anyways.
It's not like I'm going to put one ad, 30 people show up, I pick the best one and it goes done, finished.
So by the time you like find the person that you go, OK, I feel like I could trust you.
I feel like I can speak openly around you.
I feel like you understand what we do here.
And I believe I can spend time training you and you'll take it seriously for the next six months.
Like that might take you like 40 ads, you know, 50 phone calls, 300 Instagram listings, and then eventually you get one guy that shows up that's like, that's the guy.
But when that guy comes, it's not always convenient, right?
