Labor Series · Week 2

You had to be the best employee.

There are plenty of people on the job site who want to be the boss. And they demand to be treated like one.

But they look at the number, how much they make in a week, and not at the structure that makes a company grow in phases. They want the owner's result without having built the owner's foundation.

To have a structured and healthy company, you first had to be the best employee.

Whoever never respected a process hardly creates one. Whoever never kept their word hardly demands it from others. The owner who has structure today learned the value of delivery from the side of those who execute, before demanding it from the side of those who lead.

Being a good employee is not about serving. It is about understanding the process, keeping your word and delivering. It is that mindset that, one day, becomes an owner.
