You know what I’m about to say…you’ve heard it before. But it’s VERY HARD to be consistent, so allow me a moment to remind you once again.
The Owner Mindset means working yourself out of more and more of the day-to-day so you can change how you use your time to take your company to the next level. And the next. And the next.
You need to grow for your company to grow. Easy to say; hard to do.
You start as a Rainmaker, right? Actually, THE ONLY Rainmaker. Nothing happens unless you sell it. When you want to grow faster than you can grow the business yourself, you transition into a Teambuilder. Next, you need to become a Systemizer. To focus on supporting and maximizing your teams’ and people’s capacities.
And you’re not done yet. If you’re supporting good people with good systems you need to graduate to the ultimate uses of an owner’s time: as an Investor in and an Architect of your business.
Some call these transitions working more ON your business than you do IN your business. I call it Dig a Moat, Build a Castle. And, in fact, I wrote an entire book about it available here, as a free download.
It’s a great goal; always growing, always changing. It’s a necessary goal. If your company is to grow, you have to grow along with it. Again, easy to say, hard to do. Best of luck – you’ve got this!
