Jack of all Trades
By Isaiah O’Connor
“The biggest thing to remember is that you do not need to reach a professional level of expertise in these things. ”
In a previous podcast, I briefly mentioned that as you build up your business you will find yourself wearing many hats. This is especially true of bootstrappers. When you are trying to build up your business with little to no capital you will find yourself wearing all the hats. You will be the head of, marketing, sales, accounting, supply chain, etc.
The problem is when you are a Jack of all trades, as the phrase goes you are a master of none. You will not likely be able to gain complete mastery of every aspect of the business. If you are a bit of a perfectionist, (as I am) this may drive you a bit crazy. However, the good news is you really do not need to be a complete mastery of these to run your business. You just need the ability to become good enough to get your business off the ground. Once you are up and running you can begin to start to hire professionals in these fields to take over and bring it to the next level.
So how do you learn the skill you need to run your business? First, you need to identify what skills you need for your business to run. It is far easier to do this before you start, but if you do not, or you miss one that you did not expect than you will have to learn on the fly.
