This is a YouTube video titled "Don't jump in and save everything." containing a monologue or talk from April 11, 2024. The speaker discusses managing a household and agency by creating systems and empowering team members to solve problems independently, emphasizing the importance of focusing on innovation rather than constantly intervening.
I run my house like that. I run my house so that my house hopefully doesn't need me when I'm not here. My kids have lists, my dogs have schedules, and even, like, the bills and everything, like, just runs on clockwork. But when I look at the agency structure, for me, it's how do I help now? Level up team members. And so instead of looking at how do I solve the problem, it's how do I teach them how to solve the problem. Even our HubSpot hacks, we have a YouTube template that is used. We have an editing team. We have a process. We have a how you record it. We have all these pieces now that if I were to step out, hopefully for six months, that can continue without me. I think sometimes your ego takes a hit there because it's like, oh, they don't need me anymore. But that's actually the best place to be, because my energy should be spent on innovation and ideas and making sure that we're hitting our metrics, and it shouldn't require me to jump in and try to save everything all the time, which I think I've worked for people that do that too. It's just a bad place to be.
