Hi EE's! I was curious to get a fresh perspective on this one. I work with lots of Entrepreneur's in various consulting capacity. I have noticed a recurring phenomena that I would like to be better equipped to support.
Over the many years I have worked with many amazing visionaries. Many of them fall in a category where they micromanage and need such control over every aspect of their business that they can't grow or scale.
Every word, post, pixel, every image must be scrutinized. They must be involved with everything at the expense of leveraging energy towards higher value actions like collaboration, visibility, and more.
While these aspects are important to a degree they fundamentally don't move the dial in my opinion, or contribute to scale or impact. There seems to be a fundamental need to control and a lack of trust. I have also noticed this in entrepreneurs who have multiple streams of income. I have a theory that this is because they have the luxury of not being as profitable.
On the other end, I see people who are so terrified of getting their hands dirty with those things that they have no idea how they work and are not sure how to get started.
An interesting phenomena for sure!
Where I experience this professionally in these situations is being utilized for tasks that are honestly just not worth my mindshare. In small business and for solo-entrepreneurs we have to have many skills certainly. And while I agree that the highest lama sweeps the floor sometimes, knowing when to delegate, expand, and let go of control is a real barrier to many.
Would love to know what comes up for you? If there was a course that addressed this moment in a person's business I certainly would direct people to it!
