A speaker shares how hiring employees gave him heart palpitations from stress, then realized he was doing it wrong. The point: hire to free up your time, not to add more work managing people.
This part hit me really hard because I remember thinking about every hire that I had and how that scaled me up. There was this one time when I was driving home from an accountability meeting from Florence, Arizona. That's where my practice was. I had a 45 minute drive and my heart started palpitating. I will never forget driving there and having it skip almost every third beat. I'm sure many of you may have had heart palpitations before. This one was absolutely connected to the stress of that stressful meeting. But it wasn't just that meeting, right? It was an accumulation of all the stats, all the countless hours, the treating, and this person that I'd hired. I remember thinking, why did I hire this person? I'm hiring to make my life easier, but all it's doing is making it worse. And it's because I was hiring to grow. So as I would hire, I would take on more responsibility because I was overseeing the people and all of my own tasks. And then I realize now when we hire, the importance is for us to be able to be freed up immediately.
