In this short YouTube monologue, the speaker recounts a conversation with entrepreneur Jason Capital, who revealed that the one thing he wishes he had done when starting his business was to partner with a strong operator early on. The speaker emphasizes that while sales should dominate a founder’s focus initially (about 90%), the remaining effort must be devoted to building solid operations. By bringing in or partnering with an expert operator, a business can run more efficiently, scale faster, deliver better client results, and differentiate itself from competitors. The speaker shares that they have applied this advice, noting improvements in organization, client outcomes, and overall competitive advantage, and urges other entrepreneurs to prioritize operations or secure an operational partner from the outset.

I was talking with Jason Capital a couple weeks ago and I asked him what was the one thing that he wished he would've done when he started his business. And his answer was that he wished he partnered with an operator sooner. And I can't agree more because having your operations dialed in as a business is one of the best things that you can do. It'll allow you to run more efficiently, scale, and just differentiate yourself from the competition. A lot of people when they're starting business, and even what you should be focusing on is sales 90% of the time, but that second half is totally operations. And if you get a good operations plan, or a person to partner with that is— bring them on in your team that is a killer at operations, you're going to crush the competition because your client results are going to be better, you're going to feel more organized, and you're going to be able to just crush it for anyone that you work with. And people will see it from the outside. So take his advice. I've put it into action and it's absolutely helped. Partner with an operator or focus on your operations as a business owner even from when you're starting because it'll just compound in the future.
