In this episode, I talk about why I think the dumbest thing you could do is to hire other people and then tell them what to do in the first 90 days. I mean, why would you hire someone and then do their job for them? I know why people do that, because it feels safe. I control you, that way you can't screw it up. But then where did you buy back your time? Where did you get leverage? Where do you get the leverage to create a scenario where you get more time and make more money?
