Mark Evans explains why you need to do foundational work before hiring an implementer. He emphasizes building strategic relationships, taking action over talking, and leaving your comfort zone through travel and new experiences to accelerate growth.
You got to do a little bit of work for a while until you can find an implementer. But you have to, like, look for strategic relationships. I'm not saying partners necessarily, but strategic relationships where you can each help each other grow. As long as you guys are constantly carrying out the consistent vision where you're at and where you're going. I don't need to talk to you daily. You need to be looking at, how do I talk less and do more? How do I talk less and get more? The power constraint's a real thing. If I didn't travel for seven years around the world, I know I would not be sitting here. I was hanging out my comfort zone. I was hanging out the king dinglings. I was the king of the dip. I was hanging out, high fiving the same people, talking to the same seven people. It was all the same stuff. But when I got out of my comfort zone and started realizing how big the world is, how much opportunity there really is, and this is 2005, I was scared less, but it didn't hold me back from growth.
