The hiring decisions that will ruin the success of your business

Описание: What actually needs to happen before a founder can step back from their business… without everything falling apart?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jack and Amanda Delosa to talk about what it really takes to build a business that doesn’t rely on the founder for every decision, every hire and  every problem.

Jack has built, scaled and exited multiple companies, and now leads The Entourage with a team that operates without his daily involvement (his operational requirement is 1 hour a fortnight). And because one of the most important 'teams' you'll ever be part of I wanted to speak to his wife Amanda to talk about how they make they're relationship dynamic work and the biggest mistakes they see most founders make when it comes to their home life.

You don’t have to choose between life and your business, but if you want a business that runs and growth with out you pushing every single day you do need to put some systems in place. That’s what we’re talking about today.
