A spoken excerpt from a YouTube talk about solopreneurship that warns of the operational risk when a single founder runs everything and recommends hiring and building a team. The speaker urges solopreneurs to 'get real' about limits, ask for help, and delegate roles to avoid single points of failure.
Who in here is a solopreneur? We have to start hiring immediately because solopreneur is literally one, it's the hardest, and two is the scariest place to be. Why? Because if the solo person goes down, the whole ship goes down. If I have 10 people on a team and one goes down, we'll know it, but we're not going to disseminate because of it. We need seven people on this team. Where do we park these other two? So solopreneurship relationship. Get real with yourself. I don't know everything. I don't need to know everything. We have to get better at asking questions. The who to do the how.
