Aug 31, 2017

On today’s episode, Alex explains why you should leverage your network first when it comes to hiring good talent, and why you need to always be looking for talent, even if you don't need to hire someone right away. Alex also shares some of his hiring tips for those who desperately need to get rockstars on their team.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Some of Alex’s best hires have been through word of mouth.
  • ABH — Always Be Hiring.
  • Ask on your social media platforms and let your peeps know you’re looking to hire. Be specific with what you’re looking for.
  • Alex typically hires two people at the same time for one position. Then sees who performs better.

Aug 3, 2017

Alex recently listened to a podcast by Gary Vaynerchuk about the importance of being self-aware. To piggyback on this topic a little bit, sometimes the problems you’re currently facing in your business can be easily solved by a mutually beneficial partnership. In fact, sometimes, all you need to do is open your mind, think outside of the box, and leverage the resources around you. You don’t have to carry the burden alone!

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Alex is a fan of Gary V., even though he doesn’t always agree 100% on what he says.
  • Gary V. is always talking about the importance of being self-aware.
  • Alex briefly discusses a buddy of his going through a hard time in his business.
  • When it comes to making deals, open your mind a little bit and partner with people. Don’t have time, but have cash? No cash, but tons of time? There are partners out there for you!
  • Leverage the resources you have! Optimize your life more effectively by having people who can help you.
