Why Ripe OS
Hey! This is Garrett, founder of Ripe OS.
Over the past 6 years building & exiting businesses from every mistake in the book, I've found one profound truth.
Growth happens when you stop wearing all the hats and start investing in people, systems, and leverage.
That's why I started Ripe OS, to unlock growth for entrepreneurs to build a business that serves their lifestyle.
To accomplish this mission we have three main goals:
1) Attract the top talent:
"Your company's most valuable asset isn't something you can put on a balance sheet. It's your people." - Sir Richard Branson Hiring great people is one of the biggest factors of growth in business. No-one can steer a ship alone. A team of ambitious people is needed to make that happen. That's why hiring 10/10 people and the systems to find and attract those people is our biggest core value at Ripe OS. Greatness REQUIRES Great people.
2) Create human & AI synergy:
"The key to winning in business is not AI alone. It's people who know how to work with AI better than the competition." - Kevin Scott (CTO, Microsoft) Our world is changing rapidly and AI is here to stay. Training great people to harness the power of AI will transform how the world works and current perceptions about productivity. Imagine one person doing the work of five people without getting burned out. Now THAT is powerful.
3) Systematize your business: "If your business can't run without you, you don't own a business, you own a job." - Michael Gerber (Author 'The E-Myth Revisited') Systems are the foundation for scalability. Without proper ones, growth becomes chaos and you become chained to your business... constantly. No business owner started a business so it would consume their life. Strategic systems are the key to becoming free from the day-to-day operational black hole, unlocking more time for you to run the business, not work IN the business.
Why Ripe OS
Hey! This is Garrett, founder of Ripe OS. Over my entrepreneurial career I've discovered that the most successful business owners are the ones who buy back their time.
As most people believe, time is the only asset that we can't create more of. We're trying to change that belief.
In my previous business, I was drowning. Working long hours, buried in tasks, and never moving the business forward. I'd answer every call, fix every problem, and wear every hat. And at the end of the day wonder why my business wasn’t growing.
I didn’t own my business. My business owned me!
That was until I made one change that completely flipped everything!
I hired an overseas assistant and it wasn't just about offloading work. Together, we developed systems that allowed the business to run efficiently on its own.
Guess what?
I got 25 hours of my life back every week. My business actually grew. And when I was ready, I sold it as a turnkey operation. Because my assistant was running everything.
That's why I started Ripe OS. To unlock growth in entrepreneurs that were in my same situation.
To accomplish this mission we have three main goals:
1) Attract the top talent: “Your company’s most valuable asset isn’t something you can put on a balance sheet. It’s your people.” – Sir Richard Branson, Founder of the Virgin Group. Over my business career I've learned hiring great people is one of the biggest factors of growth. You can't steer your ship alone, you need a team of ambitious people to make it happen. That's why hiring 10/10 players and the systems to find and attract those people is our biggest core value. Greatness requires great people.
2) Create human & AI synergy: "The key to winning in business is not AI alone, it’s people who know how to work with AI better than the competition." – Kevin Scott, CTO of Microsoft. Our world is changing rapidly and AI is here to stay. I believe that training great people to harness the power of AI will transform how people work and the perception of how we view productivity. Imagine one person doing the work of 5 people without getting burnt out. Now that's powerful.
3) Systematize your business: "If your business can’t run without you, you don’t own a business, you own a job." – Michael Gerber, Author of the E-Myth Revisited. Systems are the foundation for scalability. Without proper ones, growth becomes chaos and you become chained to your business constantly. I'm sure that we didn't start our businesses just so they could consume our lives. Systems help you become free.
