🤪Dumb mistakes as a first-time Founder #2: ⁠
Wanted to do everything ⁠
⁠
❌ I haven’t filled that specific role yet.⁠
❌ I hired the wrong person for that role.⁠
❌ I hired someone at the wrong seniority for that role.⁠
❌ I haven’t shared enough context with them.⁠
❌ I haven’t clearly defined their areas of responsibility.⁠
❌ I haven’t empowered them to make the decision.⁠
⁠
A great skill a founder/CEO can acquire:⁠
⁠
→ Talent for deference. ⁠
⁠
I know founders who struggle to let go of responsibility.⁠
⁠
As the founder/CEO, you have one job: ⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Look at where you’re spending your time, then fire yourself from that position.⁠
⁠
⁠
🎯 Goal as a Founder:⁠
⁠
Become completely unnecessary to the day-to-day operations of the company.⁠
⁠
That way you can scale, grow, and think about what matters. ⁠
⁠
That's how we could become serial Founders. ⁠
