If You Don't Have a Team, You Don't Have Leverage

Still catching up from the weekend?

Putting out fires?

Trying to do everything yourself?

That's usually not a time management problem...

It's a leverage problem.

If you want to scale your business, you have to stop hiring based on hope and start hiring with a process.

Here's a simple framework I use:

✅ 1. Get their resume.

Make sure you understand their experience and whether it aligns with the role.

✅ 2. Ask for a 1–2 minute Loom video.

Especially if you're hiring remotely, this tells you far more than a resume ever will. You get to see how they communicate, how they present themselves, and whether they're a good fit.

✅ 3. Don't create the job description from scratch.

Record a Loom explaining everything you want this person to own in your business. Then use AI to turn that into a job description and interview questions.

Remember...

As the CEO, your job isn't to do everything.

Your job is to build a team that can.

👇 Which best describes where you are today?

I'm still doing too much myself.

I've started building a team and delegating consistently.
