This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 202.

Sitting here with Echo Charles, you have sent questions, and we have possibly answers,

possible recommendations, at a minimum, courses of action that you can follow to proceed forward.

Of course, it's true.

All right.

First question.

Good morning, Jocko. My name is Max, and I'm reaching out for guidance on both mindset and practical business growth. I dropped out of college, 2022, to pursue an online business I started. It has allowed me to support my family and purchase two houses, but I realized it isn't scalable beyond its current level.

Over the past year, I started a junk removal and foreclosure clean-out business, which

has now replaced my income and presents far greater growth potential.

What I find challenging is the mental shift from operating as one man business to building and leading

a real company with employees. I've only ever been surrounded by middle and working class

environments. I understand how to work extremely hard and push forward, but scaling into something

larger is unfamiliar territory. How can I strengthen my mindset to take that next step?

From a practical standpoint,

what advice do you,

would you give someone transitioning from solo operator

to building a team?

Thank you for your time.

Yeah, right on, man.

Well, first of all, congratulations.

It sounds like you're making things happen,

which is kind of awesome.
