The Founders Mentality
If you’re the founder of a company, you’re probably world-class in something
There is someone out there that is world-class in the things you don’t want to do
Don’t just hire off of skill though, you will only truly hand over the reins if you believe they have a like-minded ‘founder mentality’
Recruit founders who have failed through no fault of their own
An example could be a founder who had the best product in a category that just didn’t have a market fit. These people have a ‘founder mentality’ and haven’t been burnt out yet.
