Hiring Your First Employee as an Entrepreneur

I agree with some of this but disagree with other parts of it. If you're going to hire an executive assistant for example you can't hire someone slow paced if your very fast with your things. It will just not work, but I do agree that this person needs to do the things we're not good at.

This is good stuff.

Thank you, you just solved my problem 😊

Thank God for wi-fi😂

Excellent advice!

Sales team all the way and more over sales person already would have that precious client data.

Ok my sit defrnt oll rong enger and mor without no oll use buse

Ok but how do you hire these people with no money 🤣 like do I just sell them my vision and hope they rockin until we get paid … and what if my business needs employees to even function

Valuetainment all the way PBD👍🏾👍🏾

You put it in every day words I can understand thank you.

Patrick if I form and LLC can I hire somebody abroad ?

I agreed 100%
I felt it over years on my business, finally I understood I am the administration guy and I needed sales driven people.
Sales department is the most important.
I think first we evolve then we administrate the new chaos from growth, not the inverse.

Great video ❤

Awesome pat thanks for your valuable info!

Thx. for the insight. You are one of the few who actually answers their own subject question very well. Now it's time for me to git er dun!

Spot on as usual Patrick 👍

that analogy right before the 3 minute mark is priceless game for me

👍

That outro was persuasive.

Thanks bruh. I’m writing a book on the subject. Very insightful pointers

.,.

Your videos are usually extremely helpful, but isn't this one just telling us common sense?

Subbed amazing energy great prompt content thank you

Abolutely. Balancers are key and help you leverage your strengths.

Me watching this after hiring my first employee. No issue, this is exact what I did instinctually.

I have just got investment to start my own recruitment business. I was just thinking about this. I am good a sales and can win business I definitely need someone to drive candidates and admin.

Thanks Pat 👍

Thank you so much very helpful

wow I find this video really interesting. Even I am not running a business , I will probably need this knowledge in future.

Indeed, a good example of "opposing strength" relationship is the case of apple. Steve Jobs didn't have enough knowledge of engineering but he was good at marketing, public relations, and selling. On the flip side, Wozniak was a gifted engineer with a lot of experience in Electronics.

Sales. Thank you.

The hell!! Was the best piece of advice I’ve ever heard!! Seems obvious but once you realize how many times you made the mistake of partnering with the wrong person you’ll find this advice extremely powerful!! Way to go Patrick. Thanks ✌️

God Send Pat to teach us entrepreneurship

Really appreciate 😻 and really good explanation using other examples like sport team etc, not like others , mumbling or confusing, great learning thanks
Have a great day 😚

Your great man thanks

We help small business owners all across the country with accounting, payroll and taxes. We’ve found that the businesses that grow are the ones where the owner delegates tasks to others and spends his or her time focused on selling.

Not a lot of people watch this 4 years later I’m sure but what id like to say is we are truly blessed and lucky to have this man. We have seen him apply his own discoveries that he has taught us over years and the proof is literally all there. He has duplicated his buisiness over and over again. One of my biggest role models❗️

Makes sense and I’m sales and marketing but what exactly does admin do?

This is awesome! One piece of advice I would add is the incredible importance of having having written copy for your processes. To new business owners, your company is what you write. When it comes time to onboard staff you will have the tasks you want to delegate on hand, in writing and ready to go for your job description!

I need to hire 2 staff for a start up. I’m thinking of hiring an normal employee and team leader/ supervisor who can still do the work like the normal worker, but can keep an eye on current & future staff, manage them, and train them. Supposed to hiring two employees where nobody really takes true ownership. Am I thinking about this the right way? Thanks

This is great!

Thanks! Appreciate your efforts.

Every video of your is a real class. Thanksssss Patrick. 🎯🎯👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐

I came back to watch this one a 2nd time. I think my opposing strength/partner is sales. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction for how to start building my team.

I’ve been asking this question for 5 months, just answered this question for me. Thank you!

This Blackboard breakdown is perfect! I didn't even know these people in the bubbles where what I needed.🤦🏾‍♀️ Like I said in my other comment, you don't know what you don't know.🤷🏽‍♀️
