“Good to Great” Hire Before you Build your Vision? 🤔

[Kyle Curtin]

I was listing to “Good to Great” by Jim Collins on the way into my W2 today and the author mentioned something that I have been thinking about ever since I heard it…

He mentioned the concept of when building a project/business, hiring the people in the right seats FIRST, and then beginning the work on your vision with them as your team SECOND. I really dig this idea, I do think this has it’s contexts where it should and shouldn’t be applied though. I thought it was very interesting, because most of the time you often hear the opposite, to get your business going yourself and then delegate, not delegate first and then build your business. 🤔 It does shift the role/seat that you are in as an operator right away though. Hmmm

This outside of the box thinking is very interesting to me, because if you can essentially assemble the team (especially with VA's) to combine strengths and make quick massive progress initially instead of just putting together what you can yourself with minimal assistance and pivoting as you go, it sounds like you have potential to run at a much more accelerated rate. There is the clear factor of requiring the initial "start up" capital to be able to pay these members of your team at inception waaay before making profit, but depending on your plan, sounds like it could potentially be going "all in" and could be extremely lucrative.

What do you think about something like this?

Have a kickass Tuesday guys! 😁
