How can we make sure that all our company's tasks get executed, even if people get sick or if they leave suddenly? This is a concept I wish I knew, you know, when I started off with my first business. We like to use this thing called areas of responsibility or ARs and Apple is really famous for pioneering this in Silicon Valley. And next week, each function, you want to list the directly responsible individual and the backup person and then cross train them.
Siimon Sander runs a portfolio of profitable internet businesses, including AboutHire, Oscar Hamilton, and PodcastWise.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Calendar audit is a good place to start. If you truly are feeling overwhelmed, there's a good chance that you’re burnt out or you just have too much on your plate.
2. If you find yourself supervising too often, you're probably hired the wrong people.
3. Be extremely mindful, every single hour, how you spend your time. If you're not, you won't be able to spend more time with your friends. You won't be able to spend time with your loved ones, with your partner.
