Welcome to part 3 of our three-part series revisiting some of our most impactful episodes crucial to your capital raising success in 2025.

In this episode, we explore the popular concept of "Who Not How" as discussed in the book co-authored by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. While the idea of leveraging others to achieve goals sounds appealing, there are nuances and misunderstandings that can lead to unexpected hurdles. In efforts to help you avoid hiring the wrong people, Yakov Smart shares insights from his extensive personal experience with hiring–shedding light on the importance of understanding the "what" and "why" before focusing on the "who" and "how."

 

Key Takeaways:

• How to drive the vision with support rather than seeking a savior or specialist to handle everything
• Clarify roles by understanding the "what" and "why" behind tasks and processes
• Challenges can arise not from the people but from flawed processes
• Consider personality and generational differences
• Continuous improvement and learning from mistakes is key
