About this episode
“Other people in your business are not responsible for obeying the feeling of guilt that you have.” Today, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) shares with us how companies often make the mistake of compensating employees inappropriately based on personal beliefs about money, which can lead to overpaying and setting improper expectations. She also suggests developing a pay methodology based on fair market value and avoiding paying people more incorrectly, which can set them up for failure in the long run. Welcome to Build where we talk about the lessons I have learned in scaling big businesses, gaining millions in sales, and helping our portfolio companies do the same. Buckle up, because we’re creating an unshakeable business.
