Hire Better! Build The Right Team For Your High-Growth Business: Personality Profiles, Entrepreneurial Traits, and Professional Approaches With Kurt Wilkin

Having the right people for the right job is key to running a very successful business. But what if you are inexperienced in what you should be looking for in the employees you hire for your business? Tune in to the Dominate Your Market Podcast as Kurt Wilkin talks about his book—Who’s Your Mike?, improving your chances in job-hunting opportunities, good traits that entrepreneurs need to have, professional hiring approaches, and most importantly, how you can be able to hire better people to keep up with your business that’s on the rise!

Summary:
Business expansion is challenging. Entrepreneurs typically begin by assembling a group of self-starters who are eager to work really hard for the business. Those tenacious teams are ideal for your startup environment. But what happens when your income hits $20 million, $40 million, or $50 million—and those same devoted employees are preventing you from moving forward?

Kurt Wilkin, Best-Selling Author, Entrepreneur, and Co-Founder of HireBetter knows how to deal with such a predicament by diagnosing issues before they arise and making those challenging people decisions that are holding you back. After all, anything great comes with an equally great sacrifice.

Quotes:

• “I don’t want you to just go find a job, I want you to find something that calls you.”
• “As an employer, I want you to give me everything you got as a person and as a human being.”
• “You want a professional approach when people find you. The first thing they’re going to do when they hear your name as a candidate is go to your LinkedIn page.”
• “We pride ourselves on really what you don’t need just as much as what you do need.”
• “As long as we’re having fun, we’re just going to keep going.”

Takeaway:

• Finding something you enjoy and earning a living from it is everyone’s dream. Do that and you will never have to work a day in your life.
• Every employer wants the best for their business and that includes the best employees as well.
• A professional appearance is always a good thing to have to have a good impression on potential employers.
• Knowing what you do and don’t need is a good way to focus on what is important.
