- 138: Build In Management
Using pools and sod cutters as analogies, your boys in blue unpack digging in versus outsourcing, improving your processes, and how to move grass around a yard.
High points include:
- Deciding when to work through a complicated problem (vs giving up and hiring help)
- Building in time for internal improvement and refinement
- Why Andrew thinks everybody is a real go-getter when it comes to solving problems
- Thinking outside the box (like, really)
Bonus
Also—and this is Brett—I swore in this episode that 90minuteoffer.com would be up by the time this episode aired. It's not. I got 60% of the way through the work and the recording was 90 minutes long. We'll discuss this in the next episode (assuming Andrew agrees).
