Notable Quotes
“After having liked the taste of being your own boss, and then you know, there was other times when I was working for other people again. And I was like, man It's hard to get back under somebody else's tutelage per se. I like that freedom of being my own boss, which is kind of a double-edged sword in some ways. It's good and bad. Sometimes you're your worst employee. And you know, it's like you suck. You're fired. Get out of our own way and let our employees do the best work that we hired them to do.”
“For me and my personality and a lot of people probably, but especially when you're working for yourself, you don't have a boss to tell you what to do. So you need to call your shot and somebody needs to hold you accountable for it.”
“If you want to improve your hiring system or something it's like, okay, well you want to do that. Okay. What's the end goal? And then you work backwards. What can you do right now to implement into, or like install a system into your company? What can we do to build this right now?”
“It’s kind of like the carrot and the whip, I guess it's like you can either get motivated by a big, huge carrot or it's like, Hey, I got the big dream I'm going to chase after. Or it's like the
whip is like, okay, if I don't move, something bad's going to happen.”
“Growing personally as a leader, as well as I'm finding out, it's like, you're kind of your own bottleneck with the leadership too. Cause the next step in scaling requires more leadership under you, like another layer of leadership. So you've got to not only lead everybody, but also develop leaders. So they set the tone and doing that is a whole other ball game. You got to bring yourself up so far, because they're going to hit the ceiling if this is as far as you can lead. You’re not going to be able to develop a leader higher than you”
