A Strong Foundation(1)

Successful businesses are built to grow
Ben: Hey. Uncle Bob.
Bob: Hi, Ben. How's the new business coming along?
Ben: Well, we've finished the business plan, but honestly, I have no idea now we're going to make it a reality. There are so many things to do. I don't know how I'll ever get them all done.
Bob: You don't have to do it all yourself, Ben.
Ben: But, if I don't , who will? Bob: It is your company and your responsibility to ensure all the work gets done, but that doesn't mean you have to accomplish everything yourself. The reality is that if you want your business to grow, you must hand over responsibility to other people at some point. Ben: Are you saying I should hire employees? Bob: Not exactly. I'm saying that as you build your business you need to build an organization and as processes of operation. Ben: How do I do that? Bob: Well, there are many different aspects to a business, like supply production, sales and accounting. Ben: That's exactly my problem! Bob: If you were just self-employed, it would be your job to do all those things. As that head of an organization, your business, your job is ultimately to find ways to get things done - but not do all the work yourself.
