Hiring the wrong person won’t just slow you down. It will quietly destroy your company.In this second episode of the Monster Mindset relaunch, we break down the hiring mistake most business owners make: hiring for potential instead of hiring for reality. If you wouldn’t “marry” someone based on who they might become, why would you build your company around it?Doug shares hard-earned lessons from scaling a company from startup to $50M+ with 200 employees and why hiring faster doesn’t mean hiring recklessly. You’ll learn how to define roles clearly, protect your highest time value, hire for real skill sets and attitude, and fire quickly when someone is in the wrong seat.If you’re serious about scaling, your hiring and firing process has to be on point. This episode shows you how to do it right.
