50 Years an Entrepreneur
Over the course of my career, I've made over 200 individual hiring decisions at my own companies, spent millions on paychecks, benefits, and withholding taxes, and once made payroll for 728 consecutive weeks. I've also helped other companies in a variety of industries achieve dramatically better hiring results for a wide range of skilled positions. And, at a few points in my career, I've sat on the other side of the interview table as a job applicant, watching a manager or business owner completely blow the interview, causing me to decide to seek employment elsewhere. I’ve put all of that experience into a system for hiring and keeping great people, and brought it to you in this course.
