A CEO I work with called me in June and said, “Rick, we’ve hit $1M and we’re stuck.
“If I could just hire three more ‘me’s,’ we’d be fine.”
I had to tell him the hard truth: “You don’t need more of you. You need the people you’re missing—those who augment your weaknesses."
He was also in a mad hurry to delegate recruiting to someone else on his team. But he needed to take ownership
We focused on recruiting as 40% of his job, clarified what the business actually needed (gaps, not clones), and rebuilt the hiring process to prioritize real-world discovery over interview theater.
That’s when the flywheel started to move. 3 months later he has built 80% of his team and they are highly effective in building the business together. Approaching the $2M mark!
