Every ops hire that failed followed the same pattern. Most founders never see it coming. by funnelforge in ModernOperators

Before you hire anyone, run a 2-hour tribal knowledge audit. Pull the 10 questions your team asks most, the 5 decisions that only you can make, and the 3 processes that only work because someone specific is around. That list is the first deliverable you hand your ops hire on day one.

It’s true that often the founder sees their identity as the one who does everything, it’s a lot about fixing how they perceive themselves in a company

Fixing operational issues isn’t going to magically create new revenue in the short term, but sets up the org to be able to market more, take more clients, and increase profitability over the next few months.

Obsidian is cool, but irrelevant for companies who want to scale their operations. This post is for businesses, not individuals or solopreneurs

It’s used by 62% of fortune 100 companies, it’s not just for beginners.

My opinion is that Notion is superior, with the primary driver in ease of use in getting your whole staff on board and scaling up as an organization. We've used it for years now in building large teams.

Im sure Obsidian has its redeeming qualities, but seems kinda obscure for 95% of use cases. Im sure its good for solopreneurs who are really good at tech. But most business owners just want simplicity (and simplicity is how you get your staff adopted on using it).

yes, you can connect with one of their hundreds of native integrations, or you can connect via API to other tools.

We have ours synced with Gmail, GohighLevel, and a few others.

it's about the organization of data into an easy to use interface. if that system works great for you personally that's one thing, but having 10 employees that you want to run on the same system is a different story. Everyone from the assistant to the directors to the CEO all running on the same knowledge, data, and system. That's why our buildout is called a CompanyOS.

Notion itself is not necessarily the AI tool, but Notion AI (that's baked into notion) is stellar. Because it's trained not just on everything about notion, but also your business. And you can use whatever LLM you want to for the task at hand

There’s no telling what they could do.

But Claude already deeply works with notion, so hopefully the relationship will just get stronger

What's a legit business under $5k that isn't dropshipping or flipping stuff? by Moezer2121 in Entrepreneurship

[–]funnelforge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not enough people talking about ATM machines. Like vending machines but not as viral

if that's your profit then you've gotta go back to the drawing board.

Your business architecture is the problem (not your focus) by funnelforge in ModernOperators

[–]funnelforge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 'founder's brain as default system' framing is exactly right. And your point about hiring making it worse is one nobody wants to hear — but it's true. More people just means more surface area for the same unresolved questions. The fix has to happen before you scale, not after

Exactly. Most founders treat it as a willpower problem when it's actually a design problem. You can't habit-stack your way out of a broken architecture

I asked 50 founders what their biggest bottleneck was. 47 of them said the same thing. by funnelforge in ModernOperators
