Are you a Business Owner or a Business Doer?

There are two kinds of business owners: Those that love running a business and those that love doing the business.

Business doers are the ones that love to DO the work of the business. They often would rather have someone help run the business for them so they can focus on the production side of things. Most business doers will take on more than they should before hiring more people to help them, but they love what they do.

Business owners are those that love running a business. They start with businesses they enjoy, but the type of business doesn’t matter as much, so long as it can be a successful business. Doing the work is fine for a while, but they’d much rather hire experts to do it for them. Owners tend to be big idea people, they develop the strategies for success, but rely on others to make it happen.

So what are you?
