What's up guys, welcome back to build. Today I want to talk about going from a solopreneur mindset to an

operator mindset. So this was top of mind for me because I had a few different conversations with actually a

couple of friends of mine who have businesses that are scaling quickly. As they're scaling, they're like,

oh my gosh, I need to hire new people because my business is scaling so quickly.

But then they're like, wait, I don't want to hire more people because that means it's more people

for me to manage and I fucking hate managing people. It's funny because I was having this conversation

with one of my friends. And I said to him, I was like, dude, you don't need to hire more people

to manage. You need to hire more people to manage for you. He was like, huh, what do you mean?

I was like, you're thinking about this as if you are the one to run everything

and that is how you build a business,

but that's actually just building yourself

into a very unscalable enterprise.

What I see, and this is like a pattern

that I've seen in a lot of people

when they go from doing everything on their own

to needing to hire leaders to help build an enterprise is

they think every default thought is like how do I do this? How do I figure this out? Oh,

there's a problem. How do I solve it? Versus thinking, how do I get my team to solve this? How do I

build a team that does this? How do I get my team? And so what it does is that most of the times

when people default to think that they have to do everything

themselves, what they do is they build from the bottom up.

So they hire all the individuals before they hire the people
