the process of entrepreneurship if you think from a big picture perspective it's always just

buying back your time right so that you can level up the amount of time that you're spending on high-lever

to being an extension of you and doing the repeated tasks that are time consuming but do not necessarily add as much value as some of the more strategic pieces of each of the roles.

So the first of these things in terms of the order and sequence that you're going to be hiring them in is going to be in the reverse order of the value that's being delivered and or where you can get in the marketplace in terms of dollars per hour.

And so the more valuable the skill,

the more it will cost.

And so you want to replace the skills

that cost the least amount of money for you, right?

Should make sense.
