The excerpt is a short spoken presentation/advice segment from a single speaker addressing growth-oriented business owners about hiring and talent strategy—encouraging founders to identify and nurture relationships with potential hires even before they can afford to hire them. The speaker recounts an anecdote that mentions someone named "Feras," but Feras does not appear as a speaker in the excerpt.

Chapters

One of the hardest things for a business owner who's growth-oriented is to see the potential for growth and not being able to capitalize on it. I'll give you an example. I was speaking with a founder a few weeks ago and he said, hey, Feras, I see this amazing talent out there, but I can't hire them. I don't have the means yet to hire this amazing talent. So this is a good problem to have. And this founder's on the right track. He's on the lookout for talent. And that's what I want to highlight. If you have your own business and you're looking to grow, you might not be ready to hire right now, but I want you to think of looking out for talent just like you look out for leads and for sales. In a month or 2 or 3, you might need that talent. So start from now nurturing those relationships with the talent so that you can maybe get them interested in what you have. You might not be able to afford them today or maybe in the future, but you can sell them on your vision.
