The Hero Hiring Playbook: 9-Figure Post-Exit Entrepreneur Reveals How To Skyrocket Profits And Nail Your Exit (#438)

 Welcome to the Deep Wealth Podcast. This is a very special solo episode where we're focusing on something that's a blind spot for most entrepreneurs. So let me kick things off and let me ask you a brutal question. 

What's more dangerous to your business than a market crash, a lawsuit or a drop in sales? You ready for it?

Drum roll please. Hiring the wrong person.  Today I'm pulling back the curtain on how one bad hire, just one can not only harm your business, but put your future liquidity event, your exit, your financial freedom in peril, missed deadlines, lost clients, team dysfunction, lower profits, all invisible cancers to your enterprise value.

But here's a twist. I'm also revealing how we're gonna flip the script because if you do it right. If you hire strategically, you can increase your enterprise value, your profits, your revenue, your growth, free yourself from the day to day and create a team that runs the business without you. You'll hear how a huge mistake I made taught me a very painful lesson that became part of the Deep Mastery System.

I'll give you the exact. Question that weeds out the wrong people before they negatively impact and infect your culture. You'll learn the AI tools that we recommend to filter out the quote unquote frauds before they touch your bottom line.

And I'll share how one client finally unplugged for a long overdue time outta the office with the business not skipping a beat. And if you're thinking, that sounds great, Jeffrey, but I don't have the time to babysit another system. Well, good, because the Deep Wealth Mastery is not theory. It's from the trenches.

It's execution that works when exits your profits, your financial future is on the line. And if you're serious about building a team that scales your profits. Protects your time and makes your future buyers say, wow, I want this business. Then you're in the right place. And I'm gonna share with you at the very end of the podcast, the Hero Hire Toolkit.

It's free, it's actionable, and it's built to protect your most valuable asset, your future. 

And I'll tell you how you're gonna get it at the end of this episode. So are you ready to hire heroes and not headaches? 

Terrific. 

Let's dive in.  

Now for my story, I'm gonna change some names. We're gonna call this employee Jake. Jake cost me over $10,000 in just three weeks, but it wasn't the money that hurt the most. It was my time, my peace of mind, that slow creeping doubt that maybe just maybe I wasn't cut out for this. 

Have you ever been there?

I know you have, and this is the part where your stomach tightens because deep down, you know that. Every bad hire isn't just a short-term inconvenience, it's a long-term liability to your business, to your culture, to your profits, and later your enterprise value. So let's be clear. 

One single mis-hire can slash your valuation.

It can demolish your profits, it can raise red flags for future buyers, for your existing clients, for future clients, it can turn your exit from a celebration into a negotiation that you lose. 

Studies peg the cost of one bad hire of at least $50,000, but for someone like you running a seven or eight or more figure business heading for a liquidity event, looking to catapult your business, looking to create a market disruption, the real cost is far higher.

The real cost is this, your existing clients, your future clients, even your future buyer, they smell chaos. And if your team looks like a circus, you're going to get clowned on your price, on your terms, and on your legacy. You don't build a self-managing business by accident. It is designed intentionally. 

And hiring?

That is the absolute foundation. That's the keystone. But no one teaches this. No MBA course, no business book, certainly not the advisors who just want you to sign and to hope.

And that's where Mastery came in. This is the exact same system that I created after saying no to a seven figure offer and later, yes, to a nine figure exit deal. Because what started as a $10,000 mistake with Jake became part of what we now call the Hero Hire System, a proven process that we teach inside the Deep Mastery Program. 

Welcome to the Deep Health Podcast. This is the only podcast that's willing to tell you the hard truth. If your team can't run the business without you, you don't own a business, you own a job with stress, risk, and zero exit value.

I'm Jeffrey Feldberg, co-founder of Deep Wealth and Creator of the Nine Step Deep Wealth Roadmap, which is at the heart of the 90-day Deep Wealth Mastery Program. And for this episode, I'm gonna walk you through the path to not just building a business that sells but a business that scales without babysitting.

So here's a brutal reality. The success of your business and later your future exit, your financial freedom is not determined at the deal table. It's far too late by the time you get there. It's decided long before, but who's on your team? How well do they perform and whether your business still runs if you disappear for 30 days, three months or more with your phone turned off.

If that thought just made you nervous, good because you're exactly who this episode is for. And if you're saying, I don't have the time to overhaul my hiring, well that's fine, but I'll remind you this. Your future buyers, your existing clients, your future clients, they don't pay top dollars for companies that are in chaos.

They don't reward owners who built a house of cards. They walk, or when it comes to your exit, even worse, they low ball. So today we're cutting through the excuses and the fluff, and here's what we're gonna be covering. In part one, I talk about the hidden pitfalls that kill your enterprise value. You'll hear the three biggest hiring mistakes that cost you time,  money and reputation, and while we're at it, you throw out your health. These are the same mistakes that Deep Mastery Clients used to make before they turned it around and they catapulted profitability, peace of mind, clarity. A future they're excited about. In part two, the Hero Hire System. It's our five step no BS process of how to hire people who increase your enterprise value, not your headaches.

Real world tools, real world tests, no theory, no fluff. We left that for the classroom with the teachers. This is how smart owners scale with confidence. And in part three, I'll talk about how to build a self-managing team that makes you irresistible, not only to your clients today. Not only to your future clients, but also to your future buyer when it is time for your business exit.

But let's be honest, the gold standard isn't a big revenue number. It's a business that thrives without you. That's right. You can go away for however long and you come back and your business is better than when you left it. Sounds like a dream. If that sounds like a pipe dream. Well, stay tuned. This episode is exactly for you.

You'll hear how one client turned their team from a liability into their single greatest asset, enough to step away for weeks at a time without a single fire that's going on throughout this episode. I'll also share tools and stories and launch plan strategies from inside the Deep Mastery program.

Proven moves, proven strategies that you can make today to attract the right talent and increase what buyers are willing to pay tomorrow. I've also put together a free toolkit to help you start now, templates, scripts, testing tools, everything that we teach in the program packaged for fast action. So stay tuned as I'll share how you can get this free toolkit at the end of this episode. So if you're building your business for a future business exit, if you're building your business for that lifestyle that you want with higher profits, more revenues, creating a market disruption right now, not just another year on the hamster wheel.

And if you're finally ready to stop the hiring headaches and start building a business that makes you rich, whether you sell or say, let's get to it. 

Let's talk about hiring pitfalls. 

Let me tell you something. Most people are too polite to say you are probably hiring wrong and it's already costing you.

You don't feel it when the revenue's rolling in. You don't notice it when the team's quote unquote busy. But here's when it hits like a freight train. When you begin to prepare for your exit and you realize that no serious buyer wants what you've built, hey, it's not personal. It's math enterprise value.

This is what your business is worth. It dies at the hands of mediocre hiring. And yet smart business owners like you, you're still walking into the same three traps. Let me break them down. 

Trap number one, mistake number one, rushing the process. You're underwater. Projects are stacking up. 

You feel the stress.

You feel the pressure. So what do you do? You grab the first quote, unquote, good enough candidate, and you hope for the best. Let me guess, you've told yourself. Well, I just need someone to take things off my plate. But what you've really done was invite a problem through the front door. It's now in your tent.

Here's what the data says, and it's brutal. 74% of entrepreneurs regret hires made in a rush, and that's not just a stat, that's a signal. Speed kills when you rush hires, especially when it's the speed of desperation. And I get it. I've been there when I hired Jake. I needed a win, but instead I got a disaster. 

Hiring mistake number two, ignoring cultural fit. This one's subtle, but absolutely lethal. You find someone with the resume of a rockstar, you ignore that gut feeling that says, Hey, something's off. They don't get your values. They don't believe in your mission. They nod in interviews, but roll their eyes when you're not around.

What's the result? 

A team tension, drop in morale. Good people quitting when they quote, unquote, brilliant to hire poisons the well and enterprise value. Hey, it's not built on resumes. It's built on alignment as is client retention and the ability to attract new clients so you can increase your revenues and your profits today while you focus later on your business exit.

And if you don't screen for that, you're setting fire to what makes your business great. Hiring mistake number three. No skill tests. This one, it is unforgivable. Would you hand someone a hundred thousand dollars a year just based on a few questions and a charming smile? 

Well, that's exactly what most business owners do, but you wouldn't buy a car without a test drive.

So why are you hiring without one? 

Here's another stat for you. 85% of applicants exaggerate their abilities, and unless you test them on the actual work, you are gambling. That's right. You're gambling with the future of your business, your financial freedom, and your legacy.

My friend, here's the rock solid truth. A good interview does not mean a good employee, it just means they're good at interviews. That's it. Let me share with you Sarah's disaster. Sarah, and again, I've changed the names, was one of our depot Mastery clients and ran an incredibly successful business, but she made the fatal mistake.

She hired for speed, skipped values and didn't test on skills. The hire a quote unquote marketing expert while the outcome. We're talking botch campaigns of frustrated clients, 3:00 AM firefights, and tens of thousands of dollars lost today. Nevermind the opportunity costs, but the worst part, she started to doubt herself as a leader. And that's the cost of a bad hire. It affects your mindset, not just dollars. It's confidence, energy, freedom.

Gone. 

The good news. She rebuilt using her system. The next hire crushed the KPIs in 60 days and she slept through the night again. Now you may be thinking, well, hiring, that's way too long. I can't do the system. I don't have the time. 

Really?

Not as long as fixing six months of damage from a bad hire. You may be saying, I can't afford to be picky.

Oh yes you can, because one great hire outperforms three mediocre ones and boosts your exit multiple. So let's talk about three takeaways to fix this particular situation fast. Let's get practical. Here's how you fix this now. Number one, strategy. Treat hirings like a campaign. Block out two weeks, make it a priority.

Your tool, you can use an AI testing platform like Vervoe. Now, I have no affiliation with this company. There's nothing in this for me. Check them out because you can skill test before you even talk to them. Now a question. Here's the. Question that you wanna ask. I want you to pay attention, and I want you to write this down.

The question that you ask, when was the last time you made a mistake at work? And what did you do? This answer or lack of it tells you everything about who you're dealing with.

And while you're thinking about this, let's do a quick thought experiment. Grab a pen or your note app, whatever it is. I want you to think back to your last hiring mistake. Was it speed, culture testing? 

I want you to write it down because awareness is the first step to fixing it. Now, these mistakes, they are silent killers of momentum and valuation, but also of your mindset where you want to give up, you wanna throw in the towel, but it's not you.

It's the wrong hires. And here's the opportunity if you know what not. To do. You're halfway to doing it right at Deep Wealth one of her sayings is, success is as much knowing what to do as well as what not to do. Up next, I'm gonna walk you through the Hero Hire System. It's a five step framework built inside Deep wealth mastery to protect your business and multiply your exit value, your profits, your revenue.

So let's turn the page. Now that we've aired out the dirty laundry of hiring mistakes, let's talk about how to fix it. Now, I'm not talking about tweaking your job posts or throwing a bonus at hr. I'm talking about a complete reframe, one that turns hiring into a strategic advantage. That builds enterprise value tomorrow while you increase profits today, 

it's called the Hero Hire System, and it's straight from the trenches, refined through my own failures and the winds of Deep Wealth Mastery clients across industries. It's five steps, no fluff, no nonsense, just predictable results.

Step one, define outcomes. Not tasks. We don't wanna confuse being busy with activity.

And here's where 99% of business owners blow it. They post these vague job descriptions like manage email marketing or handle operations.

Hey, that's not hiring, that's delegation at best. Or abdication actually with a blindfold on  you want heroes, and I know you do, you must define what winning looks like. Instead of managing customer support, try reduce customer churn by 15% over the next 45 days.

In Deep Wealth Mastery it's actually Step 2 X-Factors, the five points of Clarity. It's KPIs and some more KPIs, and some more KPIs that are at the core of it because clarity attracts winners. Vagueness attracts losers. 

 Step two, screen for values, skills can be taught, values can't. That's why you've heard of that saying that you hire on personality and you train on skills.

Your existing clients, your future clients, even your future buyer, they will dig into your culture. And if they find chaos, drama, or even dead weight, well hey, they're running, running in the opposite direction as fast as they can. So here's what you can do. You want to ask value-based questions like, tell me about a time you made a tough call that cost you short-term comfort, but honored the team's integrity? 

And in 30 seconds, maybe even less, you're gonna know whether they belong or not. Deep Mastery clients, they use this to build alignment before contracts are signed because buyer confidence, again, your existing clients, your future clients, and yes, even your future buyer, it starts with internal coherence.

It's all about your internal culture.  You want a rich and thriving culture. 

Step three, you're testing for skills. Let me be blunt. If you're hiring without a test, you deserve what you get. Let me repeat that. If you're hiring without any kind of a skill test, whatever you get and the results probably aren't great, you deserve it.

A resume is a sales letter. An interview is a stage play. The only truth comes from action. Again, use platforms like Vervoe or TestGorilla. I've got nothing to do with these companies. There's no affiliation whatsoever, but check them out. You create a task that mirrors the real job, like writing a sales email, building a  campaign, or outlining a project plan, then let the platform grade it.

It saves you time and effort. There's no guesswork. There's no charm factor. It's raw, it's measurable performance because if your goal is to increase your profits today and later, your valuation tomorrow, the number one move is to remove guesswork from hiring. 

Step four, use structured interviews. How are your interviews?

They're probably unstructured, which leads to emotional decisions. You know, that gut feeling, structured interviews lead to data-backed hires, and at the same time, you're asking questions in the same order to every candidate. You're rating the response on a rubric. I know it's boring, but it's bankable.

This is how you cut through charisma and find consistency because I found for a lot of candidates, they do the best sales job in the interview and it's all downhill from there.

This is how one Deep Wealth client went from hiring six month churners to three year performers on the same salary budget. 

Step five onboard like you mean it now. Are you saying onboard? What? What do you mean onboarding? Exactly. That's my point. Most business owners treat onboarding like a welcome lunch and a few SOPs.

Big mistake onboarding. This is where trust, performance, and culture are cemented. You need a 30. 60 and 90 day plan tie to actual KPIs that move the dial. We're talking weekly check-ins, metrics, feedback loops. It's not about babying, it's about accelerating autonomy. And autonomy is the bedrock of a self-managing business that runs without you, which by the way is what your future clients, your existing clients, and your future buyer, that's what they wanna drool over.

I am gonna share a quick story with you about James. James, who's a founder in our program, runs a SaaS company. Brilliant guy, but a terrible hiring record. He was burning out his team needed handholding, and his spells told him flat out. You've become a ghost at home. It doesn't get any worse. He used the hero hire system step by step, role by role.

His first real hire under the system, a project manager named Lisa. In three months, she systematized delivery, stabilized the development team, and bought James back 30 hours a week.

And the best part, when he ran the financials, his profits were increasing, his enterprise value was going in the right direction. And it wasn't because of sales, it was because of structure.   Now I know what you may be thinking to yourself, Jeffrey, this feels like a lot of work. Well, let me tell you this.

It's one hour per step, but let me ask you another question. What if that one hour saves you 100 hours of chaos and adds zeros to your future exit deal? 

How is that not the absolute best work? 

Can you find that hour? You better believe you can.

Now you may be thinking, well, Jeffrey, if I put all these tests in the interview, I'm gonna scare off candidates. My answer good, because flakes, they hate the test. A players love to prove themselves. It becomes a competition. They're motivated. This system helps to repel the wrong people and filters in the right ones.

I'm now gonna give you three tools that you can use right now to begin to move the dial on your hiring process. 

Tool number one, the Role Clarity Template. This is in the Hero Hire Toolkit. At the end of this episode, I'll tell you how you can get this free toolkit. 

Tool number two, it's a skill testing platform. Again, I have no affiliations with these companies. Start with Vervoe. And there's a free trial that you can give that a go. Step number three, psychometric testing. You can use something like Crystal  it is like an x-ray vision for hiring.

I have no association with these companies, but you look to your role clarity template, do your skill testing platform like Vervoe, do some kind of psychometric testing like Crystal or others. And what I want you to do right now, put some quick time aside right now, stop what you're doing and I want you to write or type this out.

I want you to write the one outcome for a role that you're hiring for right now, the one outcome that that role must deliver because now you're no longer hiring for help, you're hiring for impact, and it's a subtle change, but it's a big one. 

And I want you to also know that hiring, it's not a distraction.

It's not something that you do when you have some extra time. It's a strategic investment in your financial freedom, your profits, and your ability to exit and capture the best deal, not just any deal. And when you get it right, when you hire heroes instead of headaches, you stop playing defense and you start building a business worthy of the best absolute offer.

Coming up next, I'm gonna show you how to turn your new hires into a self-managing team that runs the business. Without you. We're gonna build that machine.  

So let me cut to the chase. You want a self-managing team that scales profits and it drives growth without you. That's where the magic happens. And here's the secret. You can have the absolute best team, but it starts with three key strategies.

Strategies that we talk about on Depot Mastery. These are the strategies that our clients use. To turn their companies into profit generating machines. So how do you go from micromanaging to stepping away without the sky falling?

Well, here's how you do it. Strategy number one, set clear key performance indicators, KPIs.

If your team doesn't know what success looks like, well, how can you expect them to hit the target? 

What gets measured is what gets done. But here's the problem. Most entrepreneurs, they treat KPIs like an afterthought. You can't afford that mistake. You need clear, measurable, key performance indicators that tie directly to your company growth and later your enterprise value.

For example, let's look at sales. Let's set a target. I'm just gonna make this up.

Close $50,000 in new deals every month, or customer service, reduce churn by 10% in the next 60 days, or marketing increase qualified leads by 30% in the next 30 days. But here's a real kicker. You don't just set the KPIs. You hold your team accountable, and this is where most entrepreneurs, they drop the ball because we're talking about putting in weekly reviews, monthly updates, quarterly strategic check-ins, because let's face it, if you can't hold the team accountable, you'll be stuck babysitting forever.

Again, what gets measured is what gets done, but only if there's accountability and your existing clients. Your future prospective clients and your future buyer. They don't want a business that requires a babysitter, a business that's in pandemonium. They want a business that operates on its own without you.

Strategy number two, simplify processes. Chaos doesn't sell. Buyers want streamlined, repeatable processes that let them step in and keep the business running smoothly. That means no more tribal knowledge. No more. I'll handle it because I've been here the longest. No more guessing. You need documented systems, processes for everything.

I'm talking onboarding new clients, handling customer complaints, marketing, campaign execution, managing inventory, anything that keeps the business ticking. In fact, these documented systems, it's a Step 2 X-Factor and this is where with this as an X-Factor with your documentation, I've seen it win new business, differentiate you from the competition.

And when you do it really well, it's not just an X-Factor, it's one of those hidden rebrand. In the attic that you put out for public display, your future prospects, they become clients because they love what they're seeing. No one else is doing this. Your existing clients, they'll renew because they love the dependability and oh, by the way, your future buyer loves all this because they know I'm buying a real business, not a second part-time job that I have to manage when you're no longer there. 

And so how do you do this? What can you do for some tools to help you with this? Again, no affiliation with these tools. You can use a tool like ClickUp or Asana or Monday.com. Pick your poison. 

What everyone's gonna work for you to make sure that your processes are crystal clear and accessible to the entire team. Don't worry about perfection. Done is better than perfect. Just get it outta your head and into a tool that your team can follow. Remember, simplicity scales, buyers wanna see that your business can run on autopilot.

Strategy Number three, build a culture of ownership. You wanna know the secret to a self-managing team?

When your team is fully invested in the business' success, they will take the initiative, they'll drive improvement. They'll make decisions on their own. They'll protect your bottom line like it's their own. So how do you foster this kind of ownership? How do you get them thinking like owners and not employees?

It's simple. Ask the right questions. 

Instead of micromanaging, you're asking, what do you need to succeed? What process would you improve? How can I empower you to make decisions and you're comfortable making those decisions. What idea do you have to improve efficiency or client experience? These are ownership prompts.

They flip the switch from following orders to taking charge. In Depo Mastery. We've seen clients like Maria. Who used to micromanage every client in her business, hand over control to her team, yes, to her team. Six months later, she was vacationing in her favorite vacationing spot with the business running without her.

And guess what? Profits increased. Growth went up 20% because her clients saw a business that didn't need her to be around. And by the way, a future buyer is gonna love this because they see a business that runs without the founder. Well, how did Maria take a vacation without losing a client?

Maria's story is a perfect example of why you need to embrace these strategies. She ran a highly successful business, but she was buried in the day-to-day sound familiar. She couldn't step away because her team constantly needed her. When we dug in, we found two issues. Number one, she had no KPIs for her staff, and number two, nothing was documented.

It was in everyone's head. 

In Step 2 X-Factors. One of our launch plans is to set very clear KPIs, and this is exactly what she did, and she used a tool such as ClickUp to simplify the planning process.

We turned her team into a self-managing powerhouse, the kicker. Six months later, when she took her first vacation in five years, her team was empowered. They were clear on their goals. They knew the systems and the business did not miss a beat. That is the freedom that you're building, but it starts with clarity, systems and a culture of ownership. Now I know what you're thinking. Hey, Jeffrey, my team is not going to step up. They will, but they'll do it when they know exactly what success looks like when you've defined those outcomes and when you trust them to make the decisions. Or you may be saying, well my team's remote, that's not gonna work.

Remote doesn't mean disconnected now more than ever. It's so much easier to do this than you ever could before. Again, use tools like ClickUp or Slack. Again, pick your poison and regular check-ins to keep everyone aligned. Autonomy works in any environment if you build the systems. So what are three tools right now?

Three strategies that you can walk away with to begin the process. Number one, the KPI template. In the Hero hire system, we have the toolkit and we talk about KPIs. And again, at the end of the episode, I'll tell you how to get that template. 

Tool number two, strategy two, the process documentation tool. You can use a tool like ClickUp for team process management. 

And strategy three, ownership prompts. Start by asking your team, what do you need to succeed and what can we improve? Now, what I want you to do, I want you to take a moment. If you're driving stop, go off to the side. Go somewhere safely. If whatever you're doing, stop that. And I want you to write down or type out one process, just one process that's currently stuck in your head, but it should be in a system.

So, in other words, if you're not around, if a team member's not around the company doesn't miss a beat, it gets it done. Now, I want you to think of one team member that you could empower right now to own this process. They're gonna document it, they're going to improve it. They're gonna systemize it because you're now building a business that works for you.

Not the other way around. And in the process you're gonna do this one system at a time, one KPI at a time. One at a time. You're gonna do this. We're taking one little bite, we're doing that consistently day over day. That adds up to huge results.

 A self-managing team, that isn't a pipe dream. It's a strategic must have. And when you put these three strategies to work, you're not just setting up some KPIs or systems. When it's done effectively, you're setting yourself up for a higher profits financial freedom, for your legacy, for your dream business, because a business that runs itself and delivers maximum value at the exit, that's what it's all about.

Coming up. As we begin to wrap things up, we'll dive into how to fine tune your business systems for maximum profits and valuation. Yes, you can do both at the same time. Believe it or not, you better believe it, making sure that everything is polished and prepared for your big payday today, tomorrow, and beyond.

So let's get ready for the future.

My friend, I'm not gonna sugarcoat this. You've learned that the wrong hire doesn't just slow you down. It derails your business and later your future business exit. You've seen how hiring heroes, not headaches, can give you your time back, give you your confidence back, and boost your enterprise value. I'm talking a serious catapult of not just your enterprise value.

But also your profits. You've got the map, you have the hero hire system, clear KPIs, streamlined systems, a culture of ownership. Now, the ball is in your court, but most entrepreneurs, founders, business owners, they won't do this. They'll keep on hiring based on those gut feelings. Say, I've been there, I've done that.

They keep winging it. Hey, I kept winging it when I was onboarding, but you're gonna keep on doing the same thing. It's gonna be wake up, new day, repeat. Same results, different day. You're gonna be waking up in the wee hours of the morning like I was to put out fires that you ultimately created. And when it comes time for your profits, oh, they're just not happening.

Or later your business exit, you're gonna get steamrolled. We're talking no offers or low ball offers with zero leverage. No peace of mind, but you. My friend, I know you're not like most business owners. You're building a company today for higher profits to give you that lifestyle. That's why you created the business in the first place, and for later for your business exit, for your liquidity event to get the absolute best deal over any deal, one that lets you walk away healthy.

With your wealth, with options, not delegations. So here's what I want you to do next. Step number one, the Hero Hire toolkit. I've been talking about this throughout the entire episode.

I'll answer your question personally, authentically from my in the trenches experience. I'll also share it with the deep wealth community because your one question might help. Countless other entrepreneurs. So again, send me your toughest hiring question. That's step number three. Just email it success at.com.

Tell me your toughest hiring question. I'll take a look at that and give you some insights because your business should work for you. It should grow without you, because here's the bottom line, and it is the bottom line. Your business should work for you, not the other way around. It should grow and scale and change lives for the better without you, and when it's time for your future, exit tomorrow. But also for your profits today that you can catapult them and for your exit tomorrow, when it's the time you're gonna get the absolute best deal, not any deal.

You'll get what you actually deserve, what you've worked so hard to create, what is really worth, but that's only going to happen. When you build a team that makes it possible, and that's why in a nine step roadmap, Step 2 X-Factors, your team is one of the X-Factors. And when you do it right, it's not just an X-Factor, it's a rebrand.

In this episode, I've given you the tools, I've given you the roadmap. Now it's time for you to go out there and make your next hire a hero.

Thank you so much for putting some of your time aside today to walk through these strategies with me, to help you grow, to help you prosper, to help you thrive, increase your profits today and later your enterprise value so you get the absolute best deal, not just any deal.
