Neagle Code Question

Hi David!

The good news about me is that I’m really ready to grow my team. The bad news is that I don’t have much experience hiring, and the hires I’ve made in the past…well…let’s just say they haven’t been the best hires. Do you have any guidelines on hiring or advice you could share with me as I grow my team?

Thanks much!

Neagle Code Answer

Congrats on your decision to grow and thanks for the great question!

When doing ANY hiring, you always need to first start with yourself.

Are you the right person to do the hiring? Be honest.

Do you have a poor track record of turn over within your business?

Businesses lose money every time they have to fire and hire, so at times, it’s often less time consuming and more cost effective to turn to a professional to assist you in hiring.

Most people don’t even realize this is an option.

An outside hiring service is skilled at not only knowing what questions to ask you to make sure you attract qualified people, but also what questions to ask the potential employee.

They can be more objective and know how to “read between the lines” in an interview so that only qualified people who will match your culture make the cut.

If you feel like you are the person to do the hiring, sit down and make a list of all the qualities and skills you’re looking for in the “right” person.

Be specific. When hiring you want to be able to clearly explain both duties and expectations.

I once had the honor of having my friend Tony Hsieh of Zappos.com speak from my stage and he always encourages people to hire slow and fire fast.

I couldn’t agree more.

If you find that you are still having difficulty finding the right person to fill a role in your company, you may need to take a long hard look at why you are attracting the situation.

Are you keeping yourself the bottleneck in your company so you feel important?

Do you have issues with trusting someone else to do a job that you know you can do well?

Remember, everything starts with you, so the more clear and honest you can be with yourself and others, the easier that position will be to fill.

ARE YOU READY TO STOP SABOTAGING YOUR OWN SUCCESS?

I’ve watched business owners go from struggling to hit $10K months to consistently closing $50K+ in revenue within their first 90 days. The difference? They finally committed to showing up for themselves every single day.

The Elite Mind Program isn’t about another quick fix or motivational high – it’s about rewiring the mental patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of self-sabotage and excuse-making. Your dreams are waiting for you to become the person capable of achieving them.

You already have everything you need to succeed. The only thing standing between you and your goals is the story you keep telling yourself about what’s possible.

The question is: Are you ready to stop accepting mediocrity as your ceiling?
