Being a small business owner, I have come to the conclusion that the hardest thing you can do in growing your company is relinquishing control to other people. Sometimes you hit the nail on the head and trust the right task to the right person (as I have done with two of my people). Other times, you end up getting burned with looming deadlines and no work to show for it…
Well, today was one of those days…
One of my clients needed work done – as always. I have been trying desperately to get out of the center of Tech Solution for some time now. I’ve needed to put the business on autopilot so I can work on some of my other projects. So, I decided to trust an outside person in helping us out.
Needless to say, today was the day that everything blew up in my face. So, I get stuck coding all day to fill an order that should have been complete weeks ago. And that’s about all there is to it. Two bottles of Diet Pepsi, a pot of coffee, and a few empty pizza boxes…
(And I was doing really well with watching what I was eating.)
So, for you independent and small business owners out there… Make sure you be careful when trusting your work (and your business and your brand) with someone else. I am not saying be paranoid… but be extremely careful.
Unfortunately, for as long and hard as you worked in building your business – it can be run under in a fraction of the time…
