Finding the Right Person for the Job: Taking a Step Back to Succeed in Business

In the world of entrepreneurship, there's a saying that goes something like this: "The entrepreneur who starts a business is not always the best person to grow it." This statement might seem counterintuitive at first.

After all, who knows your business better than you—the one who nurtured it from a mere seed of an idea into a thriving entity?

Yet, the truth is that entrepreneurship and CEOship are two different skills. Just as a gardener may excel at planting seeds but not necessarily at pruning trees, an entrepreneur might be brilliant at starting businesses but not as adept at running them. And that's okay.

Being an entrepreneur is about innovation, risk-taking, and breaking new ground. It's about planting and nurturing the seeds of ideas until they sprout. On the other hand, being a CEO is about managing, strategizing, and nurturing those sprouts into full-blown trees. It's about ensuring that each plant in your garden grows harmoniously with the others, creating a cohesive and prosperous ecosystem.

Now, ask yourself: "Am I the gardener who can skillfully manage this garden, or am I the planter who should pass the baton to someone else to prune and shape these trees?"

Answering this question requires a significant degree of humility. It requires setting aside your ego and looking honestly at your strengths and weaknesses. It means acknowledging that even though you planted the seeds, you might not be the best person to tend to the garden.

Humility in leadership is not a sign of weakness; it's a testament to your strength. It shows that you are secure enough in your abilities to recognize when someone else might do a better job. It's about putting the needs of your business—your garden—above your own.

So, take a moment. Reflect on your role in your family business. Are you the entrepreneur, the innovator, or the risk-taker? Or are you the CEO, the strategist, the manager? Perhaps you're both. Or it's time to pass the pruning shears to someone else.
