Why the Best Technician Makes the Worst Business Owner
About this episode
You started your own shop, and you're still the best technician on the team. That's exactly the problem.I'm Chad Peterman, CEO of Peterman Brothers. Over the last 15 years we've scaled from $5 million to over $115 million a year in home services, and everything in this episode I got wrong myself first, most of it back around 20 employees when I still thought being the hardest worker in the building was the job.This is the exact shift from doing the work to leading the people who do it. Four skills, and once you see them, you'll spot the one thing actually capping your growth. For most owners, it's them.The best technician in the building and the best owner of the business are two different people. You've already proven you can be the first one. The second one is learnable, but only on purpose.
Which of these skills are you working on right now? Drop it in the comments.
