In this episode, Jim and Tyson interview Craig Goldenfarb. He explains us how having a business mindset and creating structures and systems is key to growing a successful firm.
"You can really maximize your scale and reproduce departments if you systematize most things in your office."
Craig's system that he could not live without is his "employee recognition system": a structuralized procedure for making sure that all 50 people in his office feel cared for.
"The way I treat my people is the one system that's most important to me."
The marketing system that Craig thinks you should start doing today: Have lunch every day with someone who can help your business on a personal or professional level. You got to have interpersonal relationships.
