One of the biggest mistakes new entrepreneurs make is assuming they must “do it all.” Even if they hire employees, they cling to their workload.
That can lead them to become a tough boss, a workaholic, or both. Neither is ideal if you want to enjoy and feel confident in your business!
Entrepreneurs often talk about the importance of leadership. When you’re a leader, you can prioritize your business’s growth. Otherwise, you remain stuck in the daily grind, like a glorified employee of your own business.
But let’s face it: as a business owner, you still have people and tasks to manage. That leads you right back into the “employee” mindset, except now you’re also a manager.
How do you strike a balance between working in your business vs. on your business? Or between management and leadership?
Rethinking Your Workload
It’s like working on projects around the house. If you’re the handy sort, you take the DIY approach. You pour your blood, sweat, and tears into the task at hand.
You likely started your entrepreneurial journey with a DIY mindset. You handled everything for your business. Perhaps you did too much and ended up working all the time.
