READER’S POLL: Who Manages YOU at Work?

As a business owner, you’re a rock star. You are a master of your skill or trade, and you wield it to provide your clients with the best experience they can have. But what about all those other areas of business? Are you the best HR director? When it comes to marketing, are you still a rock star? Are you a master of developing systems and processes to maximize operational efficiency? Chances are, you’re falling short in at least one of these areas. That’s why you have a manager on your team. But too often, business owners fail to let their managers manage them. That’s why we’re asking this month’s poll question… Who manages YOU, at work?

“I manage myself. I’m a solopreneur.“

It’s understandable that you wouldn’t have need for an office manager. However, just because you’re a solopreneur, that doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from someone that can hold you accountable and offer some direction. Check out this short blog to learn more about the importance of having an advisory team.

“As the business owner, I manage myself. It’s ultimately up to me to make sure everything gets done.”

We understand. Being a business owner is one of the most difficult jobs there is. Yet, as entrepreneurs, we’re willing to take on that challenge so we don’t have to work for anyone else. However, this mindset will only get you so far. If you want to truly grow your business into an asset that can one day be sold to fund your retirement (or seed your next enterprise), you’ll have to relinquish control. This will enable you to take a more strategic approach while mitigating your company-specific risk.

“I have a trusted manager that handles daily operations, provides feedback, and direction for strategic initiatives.”

This is fantastic news! With a trusted manager in place to manage your business, and help keep you accountable, you’ve already taken a big step toward growing the value of your business. But don’t stop there! Take advantage of the position you’ve put yourself in to work on your business by focusing on the 8 key areas that drive your company’s intrinsic value.

Many business owners struggle to let go of the reigns. After all, it’s you that has assumed all of the risk in your business. However, delegating control and allowing yourself to be managed could free you up to work on your business rather than in it. If you’re hands have to be on the controls for your business to function, you don’t have a business… you have a job! Reach out to our team to learn how we could help you relinquish control so you can begin growing the value of your business.
