People Objective
Build a team structure where every critical function has a clear owner, measurable KPI and backup process.
Recommended Team Architecture
Start lean. Add people according to workload, customer volume and revenue capacity—not simply because the organization looks bigger.
Hiring Sequence
1
Lead Instructor
Protect class quality, instructor standards and delivery consistency.
2
Operations Support
Remove scheduling, attendance, admin and routine coordination from the owner.
3
Sales / Enrollment
Create a dedicated function for lead follow-up, trials and enrollment.
4
Member Success
Protect attendance, progress, renewals, referrals and customer experience.
5
Management Layer
Add management only when the operating complexity justifies it.

7-Day Owner Absence Test
TEST QUESTION If the owner disappears for seven days, the business should continue operating without routine decisions returning to the owner.
30-Day Delegation Roadmap
1
Days 1–7 — Inventory
List every recurring task currently performed by the owner. Separate strategic work from routine execution.
2
Days 8–14 — Systemize
Create the checklist, standard, script or SOP for each task being delegated.
3
Days 15–21 — Delegate
Assign the function to the correct role and establish decision limits.
4
Days 22–30 — Verify
Audit results, correct gaps and confirm the owner no longer needs to perform the routine task.
Owner's Ideal Role
| Owner Focus | Target |
|---|---|
| Strategy | Business direction and priorities |
| Standards | Protect the MDC customer experience |
| Partnerships | High-value relationships and opportunities |
| Finance | Review numbers and make decisions |
| Leadership | Coach leaders instead of doing their jobs |
| Innovation | Create new offers, systems and growth opportunities |
OWNER RULE The owner should increasingly work ON the business rather than IN the business.
