You ask &ldquo;For some reason I thought I had to wear all the hats. Be the visionary, bookkeeper, HR manager, general manager, designer, networker, shipping expert, master of inventory, negotiator, signer of contracts, salesperson, marketing director, janitor (well I never really did that, but was in charge that it got done), writer, event coordinator and on and on. Was I a control freak or just STUPID?&rdquo; 

Probably a little of both,  but before you kick yourself to hard,  think back and answer the is one Question, could I have afforded to pay for these people at that time in the business?  The chances are the answer is &ldquo;No&rdquo;,  that&rsquo;s why most people starting a business must wear so many different Hats.

I now embrace the fact that I am the crazy entrepreneurial visionary. I need to spend most of my time dreaming up the next move or I won&rsquo;t have a company to run.  That is now not the way business operated 20 years ago. Also you can have all the Ideas in the World if you so not have a staff fulfilling those idea, they are worth nothing.  People buy a concrete product not the Dream Idea of a product.
