Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. All right, let's talk about a subject that a lot of business owners need a lot of help in, okay guys? The topic is going to be how to hire the right people. Simple, right? Whether you're just starting out or scaling building the right team on board is one of

the most important decisions you're going to make in your business. So let's break down the key steps to hiring the right people to ensure your business thrives. First, define what success looks like for the role. Don't just focus on qualifications or experience. Think about the kind of person will thrive in your company culture. You got to ask yourself what specific skills and mindset that this person need to excel in the role. When you're clear about what success looks

like, it becomes easier to filter out candidates who don't align. Second, hire for attitude and train first skills. Once again, hire for attitude and train first skills. Skills can be taught, but attitude and work ethic are often ingrained. You want people who are hungry to learn and adapt and align with your company's vision, with my vision, with your vision. Some with the right attitude can be molded into a top performer but a negative mindset is hard to change no matter how skilled they are. Now listen this is about to get good.

Another key factor is cultural fit. It's not just about finding someone who could do the job it's about finding someone who fits the values and energy of your company of your environment. Look for people who share your vision or are passionate about what you're building. A great cultural fit will elevate your team, while a bad one could create friction that slows you and the progression down. And lastly, don't rush the hiring process. It's better to take your time and find the right person than to hire someone quickly and regret it later. Trust me, I talk from experience, guys. Use interviews, practical tests, and trial projects to get a real sense of who the candidate

is and how they'll perform in your environment. Hiring the right people comes down to clarity, attitude, culture fit, and patience. Bring the right teammate on board and your business will grow faster and stronger as you're building the right tribe. Alright guys, so I'm here to remind you, building a great team starts with hiring the right people. You have to stay focused, you have to hire smart, and as always, let's level up.
