What...

I hired all 18+ members of my team after no more than a one 30-minute interview. Here's how I assess what makes a great candidate: I focus on just two things: 1. They should have earned at least $1 from someone other than their mother. Salaries don't count. Sounds simple, but you'd be surprised at how many candidates don't meet that criteria. Most people have actually never made an independent dollar other than through salaries in their lives. For example, we hired our two first engineers fresh out of college. They used to teach coding to other students and get paid. 2. You should have played competitive sports at a decently high level. At the national level, state level, or anything like that. We have team members who used to play various different sports at a high level, like rollerblading and badminton. "But Arjun, what about coding or marketing skills?" Yes, they have to know it, but we can beat them into shape if necessary. Technical skills can be taught and improved, gumption cannot.

This is kind of sad

Michael Addis • 2nd TV/Commercial/Branded Content Producer/Director/Editor Visit my website 5d + Follow I got married this morning. And now I'm back to work on my branded content and content production business. The Mrs. is off to work at her job in cancer research. Do we not understand work/life balance?? Yes we do. But we love our jobs, and balance is where you put the lever. Our wedding was under $200. So unlike my previous wedding/marriage - which put us in debt over $50k as newlyweds, my new union is about making smart business decisions, like investing in our home, and businesses, so I can serve/entertain/enlighten better. So we'll go out with friends after work, and have a honeymoon over the long weekend. But for now, I've got clients I ENJOY serving, content I ENJOY making and she's gotta cure some cancer!! (what's taking so long??) Reach out for a call after the weekend (and to find out why Michelle has that look on her face). Happy 4th everyone!

Leila Hormozi ⚫ Following CEO of Acquisition.com // We are HIRING at Acquisition.com/careers 1d He was our lead sales guy since day one. After 4 years, I asked him to quit. I've heard that he and his wife had started a business on the side. Once I learned this I asked him to quit. He was clear that he wanted to keep working with us but also wanted to start his dream business. ✓ I reiterated. You need to quit. He was shocked. He thought I was firing him. Which was completely the opposite of what I was trying to do. I was telling him that he was ready, had my support, and needed to chase his dreams. He was prepared to start his own business. If I knew deep down he was not prepared I wouldn't have asked him to quit to pursue his dreams. Keep in mind. Over the past 4 years, I had spent hundreds of hours training him and invested a lot into his career. At the end of the day do I consider building an employee up and encouraging them to pursue their dreams a loss on my end? Of course not. It's a huge win. The relationship does not end when somebody is not working for me. Doing the right thing for your current employees and future acquaintances is the right thing. #goals #challenges #leila #hormozi #acquisiton #leilahormozi

Jason Feifer in ⚫ 2nd + Follow Editor in Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine Subscribe to newsletter 1d → My most disastrous job interview: The boss told me: "I've asked some former colleagues about you." "What did they say?" I asked. "Everyone says you're smart and talented, but they also said, 'It's always the Jason Feifer Show with him.' What do you make of that?" I felt a jolt of adrenaline, like I needed to run out of the room. He then explained that, to some of my past colleagues, I was too *out there*. I did things to promote myself, instead of only promoting the brand. I decided: I will not be shamed by this. I said yes, I get attention. And I benefit from that - but so do my employers. People connect with people, not with brands, and that makes me an asset. If you disagree, I told him, then I respect that - - but I am not the person for you. I didn't get the job. Did self-promotion lose me that job? Maybe. But that job wouldn't have helped me grow. It would have made me feel stuck - so I'm better off without it. Bozoma Saint John said it best: "One of the most undervalued ideas is: When you are better known for the things you do, your value goes up." Never apologize for telling people how awesome you are.

It takes a full stop to regroup, take a step back, and reevaluate where we're headed. A company moving millions of dollars can't afford to look cheap. People get stuck on extras, losing focus on what actually influences decisions. Fancy booths or brand books don't influence people to buy. A premium brand and website do.

Our mission at Aux Insights is to create more value by helping businesses grow. How do you balance that with PE's slash-and- burn approach?" My answer: While there may be a few “bad actor" PE firms, this narrative is mostly driven by the media. Most PE firms are looking to add value and they know you can't "Cut your way to growth." But truthfully, companies get bloated. They have 100 people doing the job that 25 people can do. PE firms aren't "churning and burning." Reducing headcount IS a form of value creation. They reduce costs or reallocate expenses. That creates value. Such a good question. I love intern season! 15
