In this concise instructional segment, the speaker outlines a practical hiring framework for entrepreneurs. The process begins with a comprehensive brain‑dump of all current activities, followed by categorizing each task by personal strengths versus weaknesses and by personal preference (what you like versus what you hate). Each task is then assigned an estimated dollar‑per‑hour value. Finally, the speaker advises hiring for the low‑cost tasks that you either dislike or are weak at, thereby freeing up time for higher‑value work. This approach is presented as the first and most essential hire for any new business, regardless of industry.

The first person you should hire when you're starting a business, no matter what kind of business it is, first person you should hire is the person that's going to take away the things that you hate to do, that you suck at doing. So there's a framework for that. The first thing you got to do is you got to document what you're doing. You have to write down everything you're doing. You got to just brain dump everything you're doing right now. The second thing you have to do is you've got to divide that into your strengths and weaknesses, and then what you like and what you hate. Third thing, you want to say, what's the dollar per hour of those? Then you have to decide which of those is the lowest cost that you could hire for right now.
