Are You an Entrepreneur or Just Employed by Your Business?

Entrepreneurs often mistakenly believe they own a business when, in reality, they may just have a job.

This episode explores the crucial distinction between working in a business versus working on it, highlighting that many entrepreneurs often become entangled in daily operations rather than focusing on strategic growth.

I explore practical examples, such as house flipping, to illustrate how being involved in the minutiae of operations can hinder long-term success. By sharing my own experiences in self-storage, I highlight the importance of delegation and the use of tools like organizational charts to clarify roles and responsibilities.
