Small business owners are often overworked with too much to do, and become a bottleneck and constraint to their enterprise growing. They are simply too big a part of the business and have reached the limits of what they can do in a day.
The answer is to get other people on your team and train and empower them to do parts of what you do now.
Make your job smaller so your company can get bigger.
How would you trust they will do what they need to do with the same passion, drive, and motivation as you? Will the standard be what the customers expects?
AMEN! Identify which tasks are bogging you down and delegate to others but you need to have good procedures in place to do so. Defining roles, implementing good procedures, communication expectations, developing good habits and then following through on the process is the key and i’m working towards that each day. We have gone from myself and a few people to myself and 50 others with 12 of them being management and in order to capitalize on what we have, you have to do the above! It’s not that president/CEO works less, its that he/she works on the things that he/she should work at which is making critical decisions and overseeing management. This one hit home with me today – thanks for sharing!
