Episode 41: How to start your next deep and narrow production team 

“All around the world, obviously, there are businesses ~ accounting firms and bookkeeping firms that are no different in adding people.. ‘Hey look, you start next week, you can report to me.’ What happens is, you'll win a few more fees, you'll win a few more clients, and then you'll think, ‘Oh yeah, well I'll just, I'll hire someone else. They can start in a couple of weeks and then you'll say to that person, you can just report to me.’ And so that goes on and on. This was my experience before I knew it. “
