Business is a process that requires constant management and there is no better manager for your company than yourself. And yet, after a while the entrepreneur should better let go of the steering wheel and delegate the actual business administration to someone else. Negotiation trips, endless lines for various permissions in the offices of state officials, exhibitions, conferences, purchases – thousands and thousands of things to do. Naturally, a lot depends on the business format, but as your company is growing, you slowly realize that you have to hire a top manager, who will take on the responsibility for making quick decisions and for the result.

I hired my first manager when my staff consisted of only fourteen employees and my business was less than three years old. After that I have never been a senior manager in the business that I owned, even while being the CEO of my enterprise I always hired a COO. As far as I am concerned, nothing is more effective than a well-arranged work process, where the owner is working on the business strategy without shifting his or her attention to everyday problems, and an experienced top manager is successfully running the company.
