I asked Brandon Hall: “What most important shifts in mindset stand out as you went from new biz owner to getting up and out of your business?”

Hi Geraldine - thanks for your question!

Most important shifts:

• not everyone will grow with you

• stop trying to save people; you cannot make people more successful than they want to be themselves

• value pricing has made the promoters more money than it has accountants

• always simplify and get more focused (reduce services, reduce employee job scopes, systematic pricing, etc)

• pay up for better people... someone who will 10x your firm might only costs $20k more (but not paying up ensures a lifetime of pain)
