When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

That's like sort of the dirty secret why you make a lot of bad hires.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

So once you do that, you get clarity.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

Then they actually show you.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

And now you're not saying like, hey, you talked to this person.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

How'd you like him?

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

I liked him so nice.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

It's like, no, no, no.

We have an objective way to just say, here's what one person produced.

My First Million

Here's what the other person produced.

And we start with production because that's what we're going to want in the end is production.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

And we will often, I don't know if you do this, but we will often just pay to like, hey, I'll pay you for the hour of time, two hours of time, whatever it is.

Like this is a paid task trial because you're actually saving me money and time of interviewing and making a false hire because I liked you and we had a nice chat, but you actually weren't good at doing the thing.

My First Million

So to give people an example of the assessment real quick, I just pulled one up.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

So this is what I use to find my assistant.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

So I basically gave this out and I said, I said, I want you to do the task and I want you to record a loom video explaining what you did as you do each task, which tells me their thought process, shows me kind of how they work and not just like the end product.

My First Million

And I also get to hear them communicate and if they're like an easy person to communicate with.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

So my assistant task, I said, pretend you're booking a vacation from LA to Paris for my wife and I. Our ideal dates are this, but we're flexible on those by a day or two.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

Here's our preferences.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

Send me a couple options.

My First Million
When everything works, you learn the wrong lessons

The lowest cost option, the best option that balances convenience and cost, and maybe the most luxurious option, more expensive, but whatever.
