TRANSCRIPT:
Because if you do it any other way, to me, you know, the sort of vision, visual I have in my head when most entrepreneurs like me start a company and start hiring straight away is, you know, if you bought a new house, you wouldn't hire a full time handy person to live in a spare bedroom in case something went wrong, but that's kind of what everybody's doing when they start the company, that they hire all these people for two weeks. They're busy and the rest of the time they're just playing on the internet because there's nothing to do because in the early days of a company, you know, the volume of work and everything is really squirrely. So I encourage entrepreneurs to think differently at the beginning. Do you really need to hire a CFO? Do you really need to hire a head of software engineering and all this kind of stuff? You know, for a period of time, whatever that period is, you can get quite far without doing any of that.
