🌟 The biggest growth hack for entrepreneurs? Learning to trust others. @KrisKrohn

Kris Krohn says entrepreneurs kill their own growth by refusing to delegate. He traces this back to his father's rule: do it yourself if you want it done right. The fix is hiring people you trust to own the work, not control.

The reason why a lot of entrepreneurs don't scale is because they have trust issues. They really have this mindset that they're the best person for every job in their company. And when you believe that, when you hire people, you end up hiring people down that you can control. And you think you're smart because you're saving money and it looks good on the P and L, but what you're getting are people that are not free thinkers, when the reality is there's people out there that can do the job better than you. And so I had to break free of that mindset because in the beginning, I had this belief that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. And my dad taught me that as a German carpenter running a his own company. And I remember I would also answer the phones in the morning, and all sorts of people wanted to work with my dad. And I remember when I said, dad, we should scale, my dad said, I'll never forget it. He said, if you want something done right, you do it yourself. I did it his way until I was 25 years old. Until one day the revelation hit me, and I said, maybe dad was wrong. And I remember when I wrote this down, if you want something done right, don't do it yourself.
