Today I’d like to chat about the different types of support staff you need and what
makes them so important.
There are essentially three key roles that need to be filled to set your business up for
success:
• The Technician
• The Manager
• The Entrepreneur
All of these roles need to be played simultaneously by different people with the right
talents. It’s all about balance.
The Technician
This person represents the present and all that needs to be done for the physical
aspects of the business-building process. They are the “doer”. This is usually the most
visible person in the entire operation.
The Manager
This person represents the past and works to fix problems through learning from past
mistakes. They are the practical side of the business and is in charge of putting together
the business and overseeing the planning.
The Entrepreneur
This person represents the future and the vision for the business. They are responsible
for the creative side of the business and are always considering ways to enhance
products/service, business image, branding and more.
All three of these characters are essential in the success of any business and to build a
solid foundation from the start, you need to work harder to find the right people to put
in these roles. Obviously, you need to be one of these key people, but ensure you find
the role that fits your skills and talents, not necessarily what you THINK you should be
doing.
This may be a hard process for you as you will need to relinquish some control over the
business and instill trust in people to allow them to do their jobs.
