@sweatystartup Hiring right now and have seen a few folks with ministry backgrounds that I imagine could fit a sales role well

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

Hiring for a role and wishing we were a bigger company.

Tons of great applicants from non-traditional backgrounds that I'd love to take a risk on.

We just don't have the team size to bet one someone like that /:

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@peace_malcolm @LeadershipAcad1 Agreed here. I definitely am currently the Chief Energy Officer, and honestly, I'm a low energy, chill-with-a-book-and-cup-of-tea, kind of guy. Soon enough trying to replace myself as the main morale guy

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@LeithMills @weareshepherd Love that and agreed - just need to find a way to help them feel supported if I'm not physically present

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@WeddingVenueGuy Could it be as easy as just saying this guy is *generally* 60/40 biz A/biz B?

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@chasemurdock @UtahBusiness You deserve it!

also, love that summary of the mission - well put

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@LeadershipAcad1 These are the ones that can be easy to forget, especially when they're just quietly but consistently doing their job. Great reminder.

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@chrisxmunn Agreed that askign price seems pretty reasonable, and also agreed that the expenses seem somewhat low for real, full GMs.

That said, it could be as simple as they're not full GMs, but for a reasonable raise, they could be.

@WeddingVenueGuy Exctied for what's in store! Buying a business definitely has it's own stressors, I'd argue sometimes more than building (definitely less sometimes), but it's certainly a revenue/cashflow shortcut!

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@LeadershipAcad1 I totally feel this. I'm drawn to it, and honestly my employees are too, but there's a reasonable point where I just cannot be that for you

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@chasemurdock Signed up yesterday!

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@keithkirwen @KrissBergTweets Shoot me a DM!

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@theownerop I'm so with you. This is exactly what I want.

I joined twitter recently and I'm already so conflicted about all that I see about these huge successful businesses. Makes me think I want it and I'm not doing enough.

Need to find a way to not get sucked in

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@ConnorGroce Isn't the Singh post sorta saying the opposite - that he should have jumped in full-time?

That said, I agree with you. Not a franchise, but jumped in very hands-on to my acq and now strugglling to get out of that

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@ConnorGroce @MalcolmPools Thinking about this a lot recently.

I'm totally out for this as it relates to deep non-fiction (philosophy, theology, etc.), and all fiction.

Business/self-help kind of stuff though is perfect to get a podcast or summary of.

Do you have a pod summary resource you use?

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@WeddingVenueGuy Seeing a lot of people say they just prefer their computer set-up - same, laptop screen is bigger than phone, external monitor even bigger.

My bigger pref is to just be on my phone less. Yes, it's still tech, but computers feel less of a automatic habit

[RovingVrain @RovingVrain]

@AnthonyTumbiolo Love it. We're auto-emailing but didn't even consider auto-texting. Thanks!
