Speaker (Tim Seymour) describes needing to build a team without reducing the business owner’s take-home pay. He adopted a percentage-based subcontractor model so that when he brought on a client he could pay a subcontractor a share (example given: 30%) per client, avoiding fixed monthly employment costs and preserving capacity to take on more clients. The approach is presented as a practical, scalable structure to manage workload and cash flow.

And I knew I had to build a team. How do you build a team without eating into the money that you're taking out of the business? So I looked at the framework, and I took inspiration from the framework and realized that I could do it on a percentage basis. So as I brought in a client, I knew that if I paid the subcontractor 30%, I could actually take on a client and pay as I took on a client, rather than employing somebody that was going to cost me a couple of thousand a month or whatever that probably didn't have. But I needed to have it because I couldn't do everything myself. So I couldn't take on any. Anybody. Any more sales, any more clients, and you quickly get capacity. So it was. It was great having that structure.
