So now ‘you’re in business’. It might be a lemonade stand, an MLM, a consulting contract or a multi-million dollar facility expansion. What matters to the entrepreneur is that the dreaming is over. The spotlight moves onto the technician who takes up production. The manager types are ‘on queue’ ready to create efficiency.
There’s tons to learn. There’s schedules to keep and money to account for. The BOSS is happy – for now. Trouble is, the entrepreneur is out of a job. The ‘old days’ are gone, and restlessness, boredom and resentment start lurking in the shadows.
So long as things are good for the team, life goes on… but the market will change, the cheese will be moved, and the battle-cry of opportunity which once sounded ‘nobody wears shoes!’ turns into ‘nobody! wears shoes.’
