Pull to Eject

Have you been in a meeting with more than a dozen people trying to figure out which 2 actually do the work?

Of course you have.

‘Bloatware’ isn’t just found in the software aisle.

Credit where due: Tech companies handle people problems faster than most industries. In the name of efficiency, separating wheat from chaff, typically with deep cuts. Shareholder value increases by cutting overhead that impedes income generation.

This year alone, Tech has laid off over 240,000 people.

Rarely does the necessary hiring speed meet execution needs.

Founders, who must focus on execution, offload the hiring process. That HR delegation is critical to success.

When a company grows fast it compounds hiring mistakes and can end up with floors full of non-doers but slack channels full of ideas. Staff positions grow exponentially and overhead ultimately suffocates the ability to execute at scale.

When you realize you are 1 of the 2 who get things done, it’s beyond time to think about something new.

If you started a new business today, how would you make execution the rule instead of the exception?

With freemium SaaS tools, inexpensive worldwide freelancers and your ability to get sh*t done - there’s no need for hiring - at all.

Zero bloat.

Now go launch something 🚀
