Wearing All The Hats

I call it truths and myths about self-employment because we wear all the hats. In the beginning, that's true. But as your business grows and matures, you have to know which hats to let go of.

Which ones that you can streamline and make run more efficiently. There are times when you have to wear every hat. And I have an image of a person with all the caps on simultaneously.

Sometimes you find yourself in a position where you must wear every hat in your business. But the most important thing you can do is when you are doing that, be clear about what hat you're wearing at what time and what's required for that role at that time.

Not only is it essential for you to be effective in how you're using your time, but down the road, when you can delegate, and to have different people in your business helping you run your business as you should.

You wanna know what is expected and required from that role. One thing that frustrates me more than anything is when people bring team members in, and basically, they just allow them to do whatever they think is the right thing to do in that role.

Well, that's not how it should work. You're bringing someone to help you with your business, and they need to be able to operate while, of course, giving input and sharing feedback, but operate and run your business according to the systems that have been set up that are right for your business and the results that you want for you and your client.
