Stop hiring helpers. Start hiring owners

I'm reacting to some of my most popular tweets. Step one, start a business. Step two make money. Step three, build a team. Step four somehow become everyone's manager, therapist, and IT help desk. Nailed it. Yeah, sometimes we laugh to keep from crying. That's exactly what happens when you hire helpers. Instead of hiring functional leaders, hire actual executives. Heads of marketing, heads of sales who can come in, who can take over entire departments, entire teams, and do the work that you don't know how to do. This is where you buy yourself freedom. This is where you're unblocking bottlenec, and this is where stuff is getting done without you having to jump in and save the day every other second.
