Entrepreneurs tend to think, okay, I'm hiring this amazing marketing person and he or she is going to know what to do.

And then they tell that to their investors because that's typically why they're hiring a marketing person.

And they say, oh, this person's amazing.

Our next quarter is going to be great.

Then it's not.

Then they go to the next marketing person.

Then they're in this hamster wheel again and they're screwed.

Well, yes.

And that's the whole thing, right?

You've got to be able to solve the problem yourself.

Now, at some point, your business gets bigger and you have to learn how to do a lot of other things.

When you go to five people, it's one thing.

You go to 10 or 15, it's another challenge as you learn how to manage and deal with people.

But at the same time, if you're not great at your core competency, how are you going to train those people?

How are you going to know what the goals are for the organization and how to communicate to them how to do what you need them to do?

You know, and...

But every entrepreneur goes through that terror, right?

I've gone through it.

It's like, oh, shit, you know, can I do this, right?

Or am I smart enough or good enough or talented enough to do this?
