Hinesh Chauhan discusses why hiring for fit and potential matters more than perfect credentials. He uses Ray Kroc and McDonald's as an example of scaling through systems, not details, and argues that done beats perfect when building early-stage businesses.
The McDonald's brothers were, I think it was like their third restaurant, kind of like you said, right? You go, so they went from San Bernardino, they started that. Ray Kroc comes in about the second or third one and he pitches them the idea of the franchise. Long story short, one of the first franchises, one of the brothers is kind of griping to the other brother, I don't like the roof. I don't like the way that the roof is. And they don't have a basement. And Ray Kroc is trying to get them to understand if this is going to be a global. Forget global. If it's going to be a multi state business, we don't have time to talk about basements and attics and ceilings. You know, he was trying to put in place a system that would allow them to grow and they were focused on. So I thought about that when you said that.
Yes, yes, that's, that's a really good comparison. And I wish I had a better memory to, to retain everything I watched, but that's, that's a great movie for that. And just seeing how he took that and ran with it and. Because there's quality matters. But done beats perfect. And you can't look at your business, especially at the onset, and say, okay, I need a perfect. I need a good digital marketing strategy. I need a perfect website. I need to. It's, it's about the people, it's about the relationships and who you hire. Don't. This is another really important aspect is don't hire people for the role. Hire them for the business and who they are. Everybody can learn. You pick the right people, they can be trained, they can be taught. But make sure that the person is right.
Look, you're dropping nuggets. I'm writing them down because you said, first of all, Dundee's perfect, all right?
