Easy Blueprint to the Best Operator for Your Business
Jul 26, 2022
Often at the start of a business, the Visionary is the big-picture thinker AND the person managing the day-to-day. But as the business matures, the Visionary can start becoming more of an arsonist than an asset to the work at hand.
This is why you need what we call an Operator. These people are amazing at getting things done, live in the details of the day-to-day, and keep the business moving forward.
Finding the right Operator "soulmate" is as much about the person as it is about what the business needs in the current season.
