Some really cool things are happening in Alex's life right now! The Holiday Mastermind is on its way and they've partnered with Lifeonaire to help give back. Today's show focuses on how to create a smooth transition process for your new staff without causing you stress and additional headaches. Learn from Alex's mistakes and avoid those bad hires! Key Takeaways: Erik and Alex just booked a huge mansion in the Bahamas for the Holiday Mastermind. Did you know for $2,500 you can build a house in Guatemala? Don't get paralyzed and have fear if you haven't set your business up the right way. Hopefully, last week's masterclass didn't scare you too much! Educate yourself and consult your lawyers to always make sure you're above board. When you hire someone, how do you set them up for success? Don't rush through the hiring process. That's a receipt for disaster. Have an action plan for your new team member. Create SOPs for your business so that it's easy for a new person to 'get it'. Make sure they're short, though (under 3 mins long)! It's a must for Alex's team to go through the REI Sales Academy by John Martinez.

Email him at alex@flipempire.com Tweetables: "You really want to take as much time as you can on the front end to make sure you get the right person in the right seat." "This is not one of those things where you want to be quick to hire and slow to fire." "When you're explaining how to do something in an SOP, it should be in a video of under three minutes."
