From Recovery to Building a Workplace Safety Mission | Ray Hubert

One of the things it did for me, and I'll be very candid, is all of my business endeavors, even when I worked for other people, I feel the success was part of the fact that I was actually doing it.

I wasn't just guiding it, but I was doing it.

And one of the biggest things that I found for me during COVID was the fact that I had to let somebody else do work for me.

That work that I felt it wanted to be done at my standard, I had to trust that others would do that.

Even for simple things like doing temperatures, because for an example, at the beginning of COVID, you know, we were fully down with font hats and and N95s and full face shields and gloves.

And that's how we were taking temperatures.

Today, we know we don't need to do that.

But in order to do it right, we didn't want to minimize any of those steps that it took.

And it was important that people I had working for me followed each step.

When it came to even simple things like putting on gloves and taking off gloves because they're doing this in front of people and we don't want them to transmit the disease.

So it took a little bit of training for people who really, I mean, they were non-medical people that I had going in to take temperatures.

All they were doing was taking temperatures.

So it was a little different for me in that aspect.

i've learned to trust

my employees

more now though too i

guess yeah you have a lot of have a lot of uh leeway

that's fantastic because it is hard isn't it going from like being the one that does everything in your business and then all of a sudden you have you kind of have to trust someone else to do some of the work and it's that letting go almost that kind of is what stops a lot of founders like growing their business um and ends up being a bit of a bottleneck but you seem to have managed to successfully do that and that's fantastic to hear well

It's a start.

You know, it's a start.

It's a beginning.

And I like the comment when you said a slow buildup because I guess that's where I've been is I'm on a gradual buildup, and I'm okay with that.

It's at that point, though, where we're right there.

I know that, you know, maybe six to ten months, enough focus on what my goals are And, you know, I think we'll be able to achieve that comfortably.

And, you know, my goal for 2026, quite frankly, is to break 200,000 from 6,006 years.
