Entrepreneur’s Nightmare: I Hired a Manager & Lost My Business!

About three years after we started our business, we hired a manager. He started running everything—handling employees, talking to clients, managing operations. I thought it was a good move.

But then, I slowly checked out. I stopped showing up early. I wasn’t paying attention. I got too comfortable.

Next thing I know, I lost control of the business I built.

This is a wake-up call for every business owner who thinks stepping back means freedom. Don’t make the mistake I did. Stay involved. Stay sharp.
