I Quit! - The Solution

"When you have a "virtual bench" in place, every "people" conversation, issue or decision is approached with an entirely different mindset."

- Rick Wallace

I got so much feedback on the first "I Quit" a couple of weeks ago I had to follow it up with the solution.

The most stressful time as a business owner is when someone walks in and says "I'm moving on". The second most stressful is when you have to fire someone for cause. The third on the list is every time you walk by that C Player, the one that drags the team down, and those C Players who actually poison the team with their attitudes and habits, and think about (dread) having to recruit someone to take their place. It is stressful because we usually "settle" with what we have.

Notice it is all about people. There is a solution to the stress this all causes - build a "virtual bench". A bench to draw from just like a sports team, but in this case filled with A Players waiting to get into the game.   

I took a couple of hours and prepared this webinar (25 minutes) to lay it out for you. It is titled "Always be Recruiting" and the process takes 2 hours a week of focused, committed time which will have an ROI like nothing else you can invest your time in. Hope it helps!
