Full Description:

Eighteen months from now, your business will need a different person in your chair. Not a harder-working version of you. A different one, good at the decisions you’re avoiding today.

In this episode, you’ll write the job description for the owner your business will need before a crisis hands it to you: define the role by what it decides and what it puts down, block the time before you can fill it, and turn your one missing skill into a project with a teacher and a deadline. You’ll walk out with something to build, not a list of what’s wrong!

Join Scott as he explores:

How Dana built the calendar and the skill before she was ready (06:45)
Move #1: define the role by what it decides, not its title (10:09)
Move #2: put the role on your calendar before you can fill it (11:47)
Move #3: turn the missing skill into a project, not a hope (13:23)
Why the real build is getting deliberately worse at your best skill (14:46)
The weekly discipline and the 90-day question (15:32)
Read the job description on purpose, before a crisis hands it to you (17:03)
