Nathan is a lifelong entrepreneur and currently the CEO of Ecom Balance and Outsource School. Nathan is best known for co-founding Free Up Net in 2015 with an initial $5,000 investment, then scaling it to $12 million in yearly revenue and then having it acquired in 2019. Today, he leads Ecom Balance, an online bookkeeping service for e-commerce and digital businesses, and Outsource School, a membership teaching business owners how to hire effectively online. Nathan has appeared on over 400 podcasts and is a social media personality. Him and his wife live in Denver, Colorado with their two dogs where they are foster parents. So welcome to the show, Nathan.Nathan 00:00:47  Josh, thanks so much for having me. Excited to be here.Josh 00:00:49  What's your experience with hiring, like senior management level staff? do you have any advice or recommendations as to how do you go find like a C level or director level position overseas.Nathan 00:01:05  It's tough. It is by far one of the hardest things to do. So this is kind of how I look at it.Nathan 00:01:11  You can hire managers and senior people to come in. There's a lot of things working against you. Not only do you have to find someone with the right skill and the right managerial experience, but it's also a very tough thing to test for. But you also have to find someone that instantly fits in with your team and that your team will respect. So if I already have five VA's and I'm bringing in Bob to manage these five Vas, I need to know that those five Vas are going to like Bob, trust Bob, and that Bob's going to be able to handle it, and it takes a little bit of time to actually figure that out. So you could go a month or two before actually knowing if someone's a good manager. My strong preference, and this is what we've really been able to do at all our companies, is to always promote from within for managerial roles. And it also makes it so that your first hires at any company are unbelievably key. If you're making your first four hires of your company, you want to hire people that have management experience, that have leadership experience that wants it, that a lot of people don't want to be leaders, don't want to be managers.Nathan 00:02:09  So these are conversations you want to have with your initial hires. You don't want to just hire the data entry VA. You want to hire someone who's maybe overqualified for that initial role and let them know if they prove themselves. You're going to be looking for a leadership role in the future, and we did a great job with that. At Free Up, we had chicken, who was on our Amazon team, who we promoted from within there, and she became head of recruitment. We hired a bookkeeper and then made him the head of bookkeeping. Marius, like I said. And then we had two people, Jane and Layton, who started off just doing like customer emails and then eventually became the two heads of customer service. We needed two of them because we had 24 over seven customer service, but that's kind of how we've always done it. And with econ balance, the initial bookkeepers we hired, we made sure they had leadership and management experience. And they're now the senior bookkeepers and the team leaders of econ now.Nathan 00:02:59  And so it's always easier to promote from within. It's less risky. It's usually cheaper leads to less issues. There are situations where you're not able to do that, but my personal preference is to always promote from within.Josh 00:03:12  That makes a lot of sense. And I would echo 100% what you said there in terms of those key, those initial hires are key hires. Same thing. Even when we've hired a customer service role for our business, or an Amazon assistant or an Amazon specialist or supply chain specialist, it's not just to do the the data entry or the current tasks that we have assigned to them. Each one of them, I have wanted to see that they have management level talent with inside them, that they've had that experience managing other people. They've been promoted consistently in the past in the hopes that you're going to fill this role and then be able to fill even more roles in the future. So I think that's super important. Nathan, is there any experience that you have then with coaching at all, like management level staff.Nathan 00:04:09  no, I don't think I've ever poached like that. I'm trying to think there have been situations whe...

Ryan sits for an interview on the Outsourcing and Scaling Show with Nathan Hirsh he shares his thoughts on “Amazon businesses” and tips on how to break from that and into a real business.   Also, did you ever wonder what Capitalism.com's structure is like, how Ryan structures his schedule and what he's learned about building company culture? Tune-in for a peek behind the curtain!   Key takeaways [2:35] Nathan takes a minute to introduce Ryan “Delicious Leftovers” Moran to his podcast and asks him to share a little bit about how he was as a child: try to remember how you used to have fun.   First ventures and umpiring lessons [5:16] Ryan doesn't consider ever having had a first “serious adult” venture. It was really more of an accumulation of all of his smaller endeavours, driven by the goal of becoming a real estate investor. Both Nathan and Ryan used to umpire, they talk about the kinds of lessons they learned and skills they developed.   “An Amazon business” [8:15] The tools have changed drastically, from the time Ryan was coding dreamweaver on a dial up modem. But with more resources and ease of opportunity, there are now more players competing, so the game has become about quality — both in product and customer experience.   Most people are short sighted though and will start thinking that they run an Amazon business. No one ever says “I have a Walmart business” or an “affiliate business” but people do say I have an “Amazon business” the reality is that Amazon is a customer acquisition strategy, not a business.   People who win are the ones who do digital marketing, who focus on people.   Where to start [11:48] Ryan's advice for people who want to start marketing starts with a mindset change: an AMazon business doesn't exist, you need to start building your own asset. 1. Budget your profits — the cheque you get from Amazon is not your money, it's the company's money. 2. Invest in customer experience. 3. Build an audience — either build it yourself or create a long term partnership with an influencer. 4. Try your hand at search engine optimization, no one is doing it: you'll have an edge.   People [15:04] Making money is about people, it's about who you surround yourself with, and it's about your emotional intelligence. You have to learn how to succeed through others.   Ryan shares what he hates to do that is critical to moving forward in building your business: job descriptions… What is required to move you forward? It's always the right time to hire when you know what you're hiring for.   The opposite never ends well, Ryan has failed that way many times and he shares a few.   Structures, meeting and company culture [22:53] Ryan shares a bit about how he structures his businesses: who's in charge of what… He also touches on the traits he looks for in his teammates and colleagues, how he runs meetings and what kind of culture he is trying to develop at Capitalism.com.   Two things Ryan learned through personal experience: if your culture sucks, something about you sucks, and people need more guidance and feedback than he thought from the get go.   Scheduling [30:13] Ryan touches on which parts of his schedule he protects and which are more flexible, his current objectives and focuses as well as what he chooses to do weather it's morning or evening.   Owning the Cleveland Indians [31:37] When Ryan was 12, he wanted to be the General Manager of a Baseball team but he also realised that if you are the general manager, someone has to hire you — you are not in control. The owner is in control.   Nathan and Ryan nerd out on Baseball.   Capitalism.com and CapCon [34:39] Ryan shares what the purpose of Capitalism.com is and explains how the Capitalism Conference was born, what its goal is and what's in the cards for the future.   Thanks for listening!
