Hey, how's it going? Today I wanna talk to you about multipotentiality, the ability to turn your hand to many different things. I simply call it the Arnold Schwarzenegger profile. Now, let me explain a bit more for you. I hire for SaaS companies and well, I'm hiring for earlier stage businesses. The list of wants on the job specification can be a little bit overwhelming. For instance, we're looking for somebody that is created within new business, is a whiz at contract negotiation, able to build an amazing sales and marketing machine and hire the right people to drive it. They can impress investors, build out the channel, support the product team, do presales demos, be the sounding board and confidant to the CEO and the founding. Theme and of course juggling rocket science and ability to walk on water if you can find it for us as well, Paul would be ideal. Now the good news is there are some people that can and want to turn the hands to multiple different things in an organisation and it's often these individuals that earlier stage businesses need to hire. Getting a slightly different direction with my. Life Heroes is Arnold Schwarzenegger. For as long as I can remember, he's been an inspiration to me. He's always been there on TV for as long as I can remember. And it's not just, of course, I shared Austrian heritage now. I was watching a Netflix documentary recently about Arnold Schwarzenegger and it really just drove home to me the incredible versatility and success that this man is able to show across multiple different disciplines. In his life, and this is where this Arnold Schwarzenegger profile comes from. Let's just look briefly at some of his achievements. Bodybuilding, making it to Mr. Universe, real estate investing, acting from a Cyborg killing machine through to action man type profiles and then comedic roles. Politics. He was after all, the governor of California. Self improvement and motivation as a public speaker and of course generally overcoming negative sentiment at all stages of his. Multifaceted career to be very successful at everything he does. Basically saying to hell then they Sayers and proving people wrong at every stage. So this is the point. If you're looking to grow your business, call upon Armold, but it is not available. Then call upon me to try and identify those Arnold Schwarzenegger profiles that are able to turn their hand in many different things and help companies grow quickly. So interested in your thoughts on this. Absolutely. Drop me some thoughts in the comments and I'll be back. Thank you.
