TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:27] Today’s Topic: How We Make Millions, When We Suck at so Many Things! [00:50] When we say “millions” we are referring to revenue, not profit. [01:17] Eric isn’t the best at executing things. [01:35] Neil is a terrible manager. [01:45] Eric spends too much time learning and not implementing. [01:55] However, when his team makes mistakes, he’s good at finding a solution. [03:15] The way to work with Neil is by showing results. [03:55] We can’t unlearn our life-long habits. [04:32] Neil is good at driving traffic and collecting leads. [04:50] However, most people are probably better at making money. [05:10] It’s important to hire people who are better than you at most tasks. [06:45] Eric is a jack-of-all-trades and can adapt easily. [07:05] He recently brought in someone who has experience running ad agencies to fill in the gaps in his knowledge. [08:16] Focus on your strengths and hire people who fill in the gaps! [08:59] That’s it for today! [09:06] Don’t forget to check out Single Grain for more info about our live event in June. Leave some feedback: What should we talk about next?
