The American Dream MBA in People: Guiding, Hiring, and Keeping the Right Talent

You can't build a big dream with the wrong team.

Most small business owners start out doing everything themselves. That works for a while-until it doesn't. Growth stalls, burnout creeps in, mistakes multiply, and the business becomes completely dependent on one exhausted person: you.

The American Dream MBA: People shows you how to build, lead, and keep a small, strong team-without a corporate HR department, huge salaries, or complicated systems. This is a real-world guide to working with people in a way that supports your business and your sanity.

You don't need to become a perfect manager. You just need a simple, honest approach to hiring, leading, and developing the people who help you build your dream.

In this volume, you will discover:

  • When It's Time to Stop Doing It All Yourself: Clear signs that you're the bottleneck-and how to decide what to delegate first.
  • Designing the Right Roles: How to define jobs in plain English so people know exactly what success looks like.
  • Smart Hiring for Small Businesses: Where to find candidates, what to look for, and how to spot red flags before they cost you time and money.
  • Simple Interview Frameworks: Questions and conversations that reveal character, work ethic, and fit-not just rehearsed answers.
  • Onboarding That Actually Works: How to get new hires productive quickly with clear expectations, simple tools, and a 30-60-90 day plan.
  • Managing Without Micromanaging: How to give direction, set goals, and hold people accountable-while still trusting them to do their jobs.
  • Feedback and Difficult Conversations: A straightforward way to correct issues, raise standards, and resolve conflict without drama.
  • Keeping Good People: What truly motivates employees beyond just money-and how to create a place they want to stay.
  • Letting People Go (the Right Way): How to make tough calls, protect your culture, and handle terminations with clarity and respect.
The American Dream MBA series is built for real business owners and builders-people who can't afford constant turnover, weak performance, or toxic culture.
