Hiring Challenges from a CEO's Perspective

Oftentimes, I think as entrepreneurs, Avni, we get kind of scarcity mindset about growth because it's like if we're not growing, we're dying. And maybe we even have a vision of like, wanting to impact the world and we get over our skis a little bit of growth. But your first thing was like, you had a set number of what your goals would be in order to impact the community. The number of children helped is how you set it. So I think that's beautiful that the first thing you guys did was set a plan in place before you knew expansion even looked like to help more people. And then the second thing I noticed that you said was that you guys were pretty capped out on your space already. Like, you didn't go expand a second location until that first location was fairly full. How busy or how full was your first location before you decided it was time to open a second?

So all our therapy rooms were used at all times. In regards to the admin staff, we were two, three people in one room working together, and we were always fighting for a quiet time so that HR can get on an interview or I have to make a call. So it came to the point where one of us had to work from home on scheduled days so that we can finish our calls. But just what I said earlier, it's important we set the goal with the thought of making a difference. So anybody, like, who's starting to get into doing the business, the important thing is don't start it with the thought of, like just making money. Do it with the thought of making a difference and then everything else will fall in place.
