Who NOT to Hire


Listen Later

Is it actually moral to hire employees for your own personal gain? Don't hire a friend to help them out. They gave that friend a deposit and the work didn't get done. Bobby used to hire people to help them out. That's the worst reason to hire somebody because people that have problems, there's a reason they have problems. Never hire a friend unless you know they perform at a certain level. Marcus will never hire a friend, but he will become friends with people that he hires. If the people that you are going to hire has a certain level of expectations that they hold themselves to, that's fine. If you're an entrepreneur or business owner, you've probably failed to get where you are. If you have enough money and you keep playing, you will eventually win. Failure is one of those things that you don't need to be afraid of. If you fail, you can always make things better. If you succeed you can always make things better. But if you fail and quit, you will never get better. The secret to success is not quitting. Reminder: Arial and 360 is hiring.

Marcus failed early on as an entrepreneur because he was taking all of his revenue and using as his personal income. When his computer broke down, he was not able to pay for the repairs because he didn't save any of his money. Profit first is a powerful book about how to take your income and hold onto it and pay yourself first. Arial and 360 put everything they earned back into the business for the first year. They were focused on growing the business. If it's about the money, you need to get a job. You only quit your day job when it's in the way of creating revenue. If you don't invest money back into your business, you're going to stay small. If you hire an employee, make sure that you know how to do that job.
