“Hiring a co-founder is hard.”
“Hiring a co-founder is like getting married.”
“Hiring a co-founder is the single most important thing in your business.”
Hiring a co-founder is like yada, yada, yada. We’ve all heard it, haven’t we?
I am not sure about you but I have heard these cliches so many times. But there is still some truth in them. How do I know that? Because I have personally struggled with hiring a co-founder for my business. I know the pain and frustration of not having someone to work with on your idea.
It doesn’t matter how smart you are. Building a company is a lot of work and finding people to work for you in the early days is hard. So if you want to improve your chances at succeeding in your company, you need to find smart people as soon as you can.
The first smart person you need to find is your co-founder. (This is why I wrote the “Ultimate Guide On How To Find A Co-Founder In Less Than 30 Days.”)
What I will be sharing with you is a proven step-by-step system that has worked not only for me but for dozens of other people as well.
I hope you’re ready for it. Let’s start.
The struggle
When I started building a company, I worked on my idea for two months straight. I worked extended hours, and as I worked more on my idea, I realized that boy, it’s a lot of work. I couldn’t do it alone for long. I must find someone to partner with—someone who can help me build this product.
So just like everyone else, I started reaching out to my friends, telling them about my mission and vision. A lot of them were interested in joining me, but the kind of responses I got left me disappointed.
“The idea is good, but I can’t work full time on it.”
“I want to work with you. Let’s do this. But I can only do it after office time.”
