When you’re an employee, you want to be indispensable. It generates job security when no one can do what you do.
When you run a small business, that attitude can be a disaster. One of your goals as a small business owner should be to make yourself completely replaceable.
Andy Birol at SmallBizTrends.com recently underlined the truth of that principle in “Secret #1 for Growth: Train Someone to Sell and Communicate Better than You“.
Birol persuasively argues that you don’t want to be the only person in your company who can get the job done. You want to find and develop employees who can do things even better than you can.
If you’re still thinking like an employee, it’s time to change your perspective. Make yourself dispensable!
