I've got bad news. That plan you're drafting to scale your startup’s workforce? It doesn't magically solve all growth challenges. It's simply a step that opens a new set of opportunities and hurdles you'll need to navigate. The reality is adding members to the team can bring about incredible innovation but also unexpected challenges. Once you start expanding, you'll realize that each new hire teaches you invaluable lessons about team dynamics, company culture, and strategic growth that no business textbook can capture. So should you avoid scaling? Of course not. Scaling is magnificent. At the previous startups that I worked with, we saw our potential multiply, along with our capability to innovate and deliver. The key is to embrace the journey, learn from every new experience, and continue to adapt. What has been your experience of working with a startup or building one? #startup #workforce #randompositivity #hiring #growth

There are no short cuts with startups. phase one. excitement phase two. dread & doubt phase three. take all learned lessons, pivot, tweak, execute phase four - learn you never stop building product, selling or hiring. (raising money) phase five - you realize this. you need to push the rock up hill with the entire team. Paul Graham on fooling yourself: "If you're trying to choose between two theories and one gives you an excuse for being lazy, the other one is probably right." Unless you're paying absolutely top dollar for executives, VPs, best in class managers, you need to do the work.

Building a company is freaking hard. It takes a village, and when speaking with early stage startup founders, they are often working through a series of similar challenges. 🔒 resource constraint 📍 finding product-market fit 🤝 building a sticky product/service that attracts and retains users 💰 monetization, with path to profitability 🤼 building (and retaining) a team that will propel growth company-wide In the early days, it's easy to build fast and break things. What you should not build fast and break are the people you bring in to the team. There will always be higher revenue deals, VC pressure, and new opportunity zones to chase after. The landscape is shifting, and companies are working more than ever to stay laser focused on building teams strategically. I love helping founding teams unlock their full potential, and it usually only takes a few impactful shifts early on to create impact with long lasting positive ripple effects.
