🎯 Finding the right people can be tough, right? We all know it. But here’s the thing I always look for: Make sure they align with your mission. 🚀

Your company's success hinges on building around people who share the same core values. This alignment drives your team toward long-term success.

Now, I have a methodology that flips traditional job postings upside down. 📄 But today, I’m not here to talk about that. Want more info? Drop a comment or DM me. 📥

So, let’s focus on managing your lean team instead. 💡 A lean team doesn’t always mean fewer full-time employees. It’s about people handling the right tasks in their areas of strength.

Whether you have 20 people doing 20 tasks or 5 people doing 4 tasks—it varies. The key is communication and clarity. 🗣️ And yes, you can manage this with the right tech and processes, but remember: there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

What I love to do is pocket tasks—small, specific tasks you can pull out when needed. The right person should do the right task, regardless of their role. For example, an ops person might handle something typically for marketing.

💡 Focus on their area of genius—the stuff that energizes them, the things they’re amazing at.
🔥 That's where you'll get maximum efficiency.

Bottom line: It’s not about the number of people or revenue figures. It’s about having the right people doing the right things in their areas of genius. That's where you'll see real success.
