Early founders do everything: payroll, accounting, content creation. As you hire, you shift from being in the weeds to working on the business strategically. Talking with peers gives you that 30,000-foot view you need.
I find that that's really helpful in, like, our line of work as well, is to talk with people who are in similar positions. And then you get to have more of the 30,000-foot view of the business rather than being deep in it for 30 minutes, an hour.
Yes. And sometimes you do need to be in it. You need to be in your business. And there is that when you are starting out, just for every— all founders and stuff, entrepreneurs listening, that will be where you are for a very long time. and you will do every single job. I've done every single job at BAM, every single job. Running payroll, running the accounting books, writing blogs for clients. You know, there is that part. But then once you get bigger and bigger, you have other people, you have that context and you can rise above and work on your business, as the saying goes. And that is a different level and requirement. I think it's much better, to tell you the truth.
