Part 1:?Working ON your business not IN your business. ? How to calm the Chaos and get your life back.

In order to understand How to work ON your business not IN your business we first need to define the 3 main roles that any business owner has within their business.

3 Roles/Personalities of a Business Owner:

1. The Technician.

The Technician is the doer. With this role your primary responsibilities are the technical part of the business. If you own a plumbing business the technician is the plumber.

2. The Manager.

The Manager lives in the past, the manager craves order. The manager builds a house then lives in it forever. The entrepreneur builds a house and the instant it is done starts planning the next one.

3. ?The Entrepreneur.

The Entrepreneur?is the visionary or the dreamer in us. The entrepreneur lives in the future, never in the past, rarely in the present. ?To the entrepreneur, most people are problems that get in the way of the dream.?Where the entrepreneur lives in the future, the manager lives in the past, the technician lives in the present. The entrepreneur is always creating new and interesting work for the technician to do, thus establishing a potentially symbiotic relationship.
