In this segment, the founder of a seven‑figure agency evaluates his own proficiency across core business functions—rating sales & marketing at 7, operations at 5, finance at 0/‑1, HR at 1, customer experience at 2, and his CEO role at 6. Recognizing that his strengths lie in sales, marketing, and overall leadership, he decides to offload the other areas to dedicated leaders. He first brings his wife on to manage finance and HR, then hires Aaron to head the customer‑experience team, and later adds David Magaña to run operations. By delegating these responsibilities, he frees himself to focus on growth‑driving activities, which he describes as having "completely transformed the business."

Chapters

Sales and marketing, I was like a 7. Operations, it was like a 5. Finance, it was like a 0 or a -1. Uh, HR, 1. Customer experience was like a 2, right? And then CEO, I was probably like a 6, right? So I was like, okay, what leaders do I have to put into place, or what things need to happen so that I can focus on the things that I really need to do? So at the time, it was sales and marketing and being a CEO. I needed to get my ass out of all the other stuff. I just started little by little chipping away at all those things. Brought in my wife, she started running our finance and our HR. Brought in Aaron, who was working with my agency that I hadn't sold yet, said, hey, I need you to run our customer experience team. Later on that year, we ended up bringing in David Magaña, who runs our operations team. Oh my God, like, all these people completely transformed the business.
