Summary

“Done is better than perfect.” Than has taught me so much over the years about how to build a successful business and I’ve watched him scale his from 30 employees to over 300 in just a few years. I wanted to bring him on the podcast because I know scaling your business can be one of the most challenging obstacles entrepreneurs face. However, when I asked Than for his best advice on this, we ended up talking about how to hire the right team and empower them to make decisions for you. This whole conversation is a gold mine for anyone in business. For this 5 Minute Friday clip, I am sharing his thoughts on leading by example, taking care of yourself so you can perform well, and managing your time wisely.

I think first of all, if you're diet and nutrition, I mean energy levels differ greatly.

If you're not eating well, you'll probably be two thirds as productive as you could be,

1:01.6

just by changing your diet.

1:05.1

As far as working out, I work out six days a week.

1:07.8

I prefer CrossFit because they're very short 30 minute workouts most of the time.

1:15.2

Most of the time when I work out four days a week, I'm doing that two days, I'll do just

1:19.0

a run because it's all I could get in that day for the beach.

1:22.5

If I'm local right down at the beach or if I'm traveling or wherever, then I'll try to

1:27.8

get in some sort of physical activity because it's very important.

1:32.0

It's also important, I think, as a leader of your company, if you embrace that lifestyle,

1:36.6

your team members and employees will do the same thing.
