For once, Mr. Godin had something pretty savvy to say.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;For example, a short-order cook gets paid to ship. They\u2019re paid to cook hamburgers. If he or she doesn\u2019t cook hamburgers, they don\u2019t get paid.&#8221; (<a href=\"For example, a short-order cook gets paid to ship. They\u2019re paid to cook hamburgers. If he or she doesn\u2019t cook hamburgers, they don\u2019t get paid.\" target=\"_blank\">10 Lessons Seth Godin Can Teach You About Blogging<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>His point was, some people are paid to work, and others are paid to produce. In technology terms, to ship a product to market. This becomes a critical distinction in a startup, where budgets are tiny and time-spans are even shorter.<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h2>Workers vs Shippers<\/h2>\n<p>The key differences between someone who is paid to produce a product and someone paid to work, is that shippers don&#8217;t get paid until they complete the job. Workers are paid for every hour, no matter what. It is a simple fact of human nature that we work for rewards. If your reward is a paycheck when you hand over the product, then you&#8217;ll work harder and faster to get to that reward.<\/p>\n<p>Remove the reward, and all that&#8217;s left is avoiding being fired. A poor incentive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Especially in Technology, Shipping is All That Matters<\/h2>\n<p>The nature of my industry is that we tinker. We call it &#8220;iterating&#8221; but really it&#8217;s tinkering. We try it this way, then that way, then another way to see which works best. All technology creators have a keen interest in the details&#8211;in playing around with how things work. That&#8217;s a great way to invent. But it&#8217;s also a great way to waste time. Without an incentive to launch a product, we might spend hours, weeks, months working without ever shipping.<\/p>\n<p>Designers can be the worst at this. We want it pixel-perfect, and there always seems to be another pixel to move. That&#8217;s no good for anyone. I like shippers, because I&#8217;m a shipper. And that&#8217;s why I started a design business that is paid to ship, not to work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Start-ups Should Work with Shippers<\/h1>\n<p>I run businesses, which means it&#8217;s my money on the line (or my investor&#8217;s money) and ultimately, my reputation, my business, my future. If I don&#8217;t ship, I don&#8217;t get paid. I need to work with others whose goals are aligned with mine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>I learned this Lesson the Hard Way<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been in the situation too many times where I&#8217;m anxiously eyeing my dwindling bank account as workers who appear to be working hard never actually complete anything. It&#8217;s destroyed a business of mine. I won&#8217;t let that happen again.<\/p>\n<p>So those of you just starting out in a new business, I highly recommend you hire shippers, not workers. Here are some good guidelines I&#8217;ve learned to follow:<\/p>\n<h2>Five Guidelines for Shipping<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Contract with the freelancer that gets paid when the product is in your hand (it&#8217;s okay to pay an advance, or in stages, as long as the last big payment comes when you&#8217;re satisfied with the product).<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t hire employees until you have a lot of regular income and you simply can&#8217;t avoid it.<\/li>\n<li>Work with other small business people who know your pain and aren&#8217;t out to gouge you.<\/li>\n<li>Know how much you&#8217;ll have to pay before you start.<\/li>\n<li>Then do the same for your clients.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If we were all more focused on shipping excellent products instead of getting a steady paycheck each week, we&#8217;d all make more cash in the long run&#8211;and the world would be full of excellent products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pay for performance.
