Many believe that the Entrepreneur Ladder concludes at the ‘Owner’ stage. They accept the narrative that an owner is always on call, playing the role of the indispensable hero, the sole reason the business keeps running.
However, this notion is a myth of business ownership and, frankly, not true. Our model envisions a Commercial, Profitable Enterprise that operates efficiently without your constant presence. We encourage you to shift your mindset towards assets, wealth, and personal growth, enabling you to lead a fulfilling life on your own terms.
Now, a word of caution: Fear often surfaces prominently at this stage. The fear that ‘No one cares about the business as much as I do,’ or ‘They’ll never do it the way I do it,’ or ‘They don’t care about our customers like I do.’
While these concerns are valid, consider this:
Do you abstain from buying from Amazon because Jeff Bezos isn’t personally handling your orders?
Do you avoid Apple products because Steve Jobs is no longer with us?
Does Walmart lose your business because Sam Walton has passed away?
Now, ask yourself another question: Is there anyone else in the world doing exactly what you do? If you’re a remodeler, are there no other remodelers? No other plumbers? No other restaurants? Of course, there are. This means there are individuals who are just as competent as, if not better than, you in your field—successful enough to run their businesses.
