I read something that hits hard for business owners:

Good employees do what you tell them.

Great employees do what you would do.

The best employees do what you wish you'd thought of.

I used to think I had to do everything. That nobody else would care like I do. No one could move fast enough or get it "just right."

Truth is I was hiring the wrong way. I was hiring helpers, not shot callers.

Bad employees kept me chained to my business 24/7 and stressed as hell. Losing opportunities because I had to swoop in and do all shit they should have been doing.

Now? Every business I run can operate without me.

Because I've got people in place who not only think like I do, but challenge me to level up. They have ideas and insights that help make the companies better.

That's what building a real business looks like. Not a lazy crew that sits and waits for orders, but a team that moves before you ask, and brings ideas you never even considered.

Take care of the right people and they'll fight to keep you at the top.

How to hire the right way is one of the biggest gaps I see in business owners. It's something we talk about constantly behind closed doors inside the DM Alliance.

If you're been trying to build your business but you need help with your team - hiring, training or getting rid of bad habits - let’s have a talk now.
