Today we're pulling a classic episode from the archives and we'll be breaking down from startup to grownup, how to avoid common mistakes founders make. To drop these value bombs, I brought Alisa Cohn into EOFire Studios.

In today's foundation, we'll talk about how you do not need to set goals, instead set directions. And the secrets to great hiring is setting up a specific game plan about what you want to accomplish in 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days. And Fire Nation, so much more. And a big thank you for sponsoring today's episode goes to Alisa and our sponsors. Success Story, hosted by Scott D.
