You Cannot Scale By Hiring Experienced People Only. You Scale By Growing Capable People From Within.

There is a myth that to grow a business you must hire “rockstars” — fully formed, highly experienced talent who can come in and take things off your plate instantly.

But this belief causes:

• High payroll cost

• High expectations

• High disappointment

• High turnover

Because experience alone does not create alignment.
Shared understanding creates alignment.

The Apprenticeship Plan is the process of growing your own skilled team from within — by teaching them:

• How the business thinks

• How decisions are made

• How customers should feel

• How quality is defined

• How success is measured

• How problems are solved

This creates employees who are not simply “working a job” —
but building a craft.

The Apprenticeship Philosophy

People do not thrive when they are thrown into responsibility.
People thrive when they are guided into competence.

This requires:

• Patience

• Coaching

• Repetition

• Feedback

• Model-first → Do-with → Do-alone progression

This is slow at first —
but it builds self-sufficient, confident, committed contributors who think, act, and care like owners.

And those people become your future leaders.

Your Coaching Assignment

Choose one team member with potential.
Not perfection — potential.

Create a 60–90 day development track:

• Week-by-week skill focus

• Joint review sessions

• Gradual handoff of responsibility

You are not just building a team.
You are building your future leadership bench.

This is succession in motion.
