⚡ 4 steps to recruit your dream business partner
The unconventional offer that top performers can't refuse


If you want to steal top-tier talent from high-paying W2 roles…
You need a creative partnership structure that offers upside and security.
Here’s the 4-step framework I used to convince my co-founder to leave his $300k/year W2 to be my business partner:
1. Soft Pitch the Idea
Identify someone you trust who’s insanely talented.
Share your vision and get them on board with a test client or small project.
2. Prove the Model
Run a few test cases together to show them it’s a scalable, profitable business they can help build.

Transition From OPERATOR to OWNER
Tired of being stuck in your agency’s day-to-day? We've helped 800+ agency owners turn their businesses into self-sustaining machines. Start with a free call to pinpoint your agency’s path to freedom.

3. Identify a Salary Target
Find out the monthly income they need to confidently leave their W2 job.
This ensures their financial security as they transition.
Create a rev share agreement that rewards them heavily upfront.
I offered 80% of initial profits until we hit their salary goal, taking only 20% myself.
Why it works:
They see immediate upside without waiting for a full salary.
You get top-tier talent without the upfront salary risk.
Both parties build trust and confidence in the business before scaling.
This structure let me recruit elite talent and build a business that unlocks massive potential.
