4. “Instead of searching for people that were the
same as me, I looked for the opposite. The goal
was to get as close as possible to everyone doing
the tasks that they really enjoy, they’re good at,
and make them want to come to work.”
1. Find People With Complementary Skills

5. "Most every business has tasks or projects that are worked on many times
throughout the day, month, or year. Whenever there is a repeatable task,
there should always be a well documented system in place to enable greater
efficiency and effectiveness. Figure it out once, document it, and then follow
the plan.”

6. 3. Shared Responsibilities Trump Specialization
"It is important that the success of
the business is not reliant on any
one person, including the owner.
If someone was out sick, away on
vacation, quit, or was out for any
reason, systems should be in
place to enable others in the
office to easily step in and see
what needs to be done and have
the skills to complete it."

7. 4. Know When to Grow Your Team
"Do not wait until you can afford staff to hire
them. If you hire the right person for the job,
they will more than pay for themselves. Once
I took the leap of faith and hired the right
person at an appropriate level
of pay, my business took off
very quickly."
