to stop one lesson that i look back now and i didn't realize is i was lucky i had my brothers to start with because i could trust them and i just and they were good in the business yeah i mean just to be frank like at first i didn't train them very much so i was like figure it out and i just would get mad i scream at him but that actually gave me like some latitude to to grow really fast because i had reliable people yeah outside of that i think a big mistake i made when hiring is i didn't

I didn't hire them before I hired them, meaning I didn't test people out. And I wish if I could go back, I would have tested people out, meaning, hey, like a sales rep, I would be like, hey, here's some calls. Here's a script. When you're ready, like we're going to give you a live call. If you close it, you get paid.

You know, and like trying to actually test people out before you bring them on, because you bring people on and then you waste all this time and ramp up period, getting them up to speed. And then they're not even a long-term fit.

It's not even like... Yeah, you know, I don't know how it was for you, but I didn't really look at resumes from the standpoint of where they go to school. It was just what experience you had.

It's just better if it takes you longer, and you have to work with more people up front, but then you find that longer, I guess, person on the back end. It's totally worth it.

I think that was the other thing is I didn't have like set SOPs and KPIs when I started. So, you know, like now they can come through and it's like, right, here's the job. Yeah, here's exactly what to do. Here's a video for everything. Yeah. So if they can't follow that, you're just like, you can't work here. But in the beginning, when you're growing really fast, I think

having that structure just like it sounds nice on paper but it's like sometimes you don't get to build it as you're going or you you build it too slow like and that's just reality though and i also think like as entrepreneurs it's great hiring mentors and everyone that tells you to do this but i think part of us entrepreneurs we like have to get punched in the face to learn yeah like ultimately you have to go through it yeah ultimately like one of the best learners is experienced

You can read stuff all you want, but there's no substitute for having a kid and then probably reading about having a kid. It's not anywhere near the same, so probably similar.
