From Entrepreneur to Empowerer

How can entrepreneurs grow their startup?

The qualities that help entrepreneurs start their businesses might not be the same that will help take the startup to the next level.

There will still be challenges that entrepreneurs will face when they have hired all the “right people” for the different roles of the company. If the entrepreneurs continue to become heavily involved in decision making of the different functions even when they have put “right people” in those positions, the company will be limiting itself. The entrepreneurs’ efforts might actually be counterproductive then.

For entrepreneurs to grow their company, most times they themselves become bottlenecks to the growth. It’s time to switch from being an entrepreneur to becoming an empowerer (one who empowers others to do their best). If entrepreneurs have empowered other leaders in the best way possible, the company will experience growth in many ways.

Just over the hill

Just over the hill are the beautiful and majestic mountains. That’s Mount Everest.

You know the climb is steep. You’re ready mentally and physically to take upon the challenge. Nothing can completely prepare you for this moment, you just know that you have to keep going. The only way to go is forward. No excuses. No looking back. No U turns.

The steep climb is where your character is tested. You need to believe in yourself, be resilient and patient. It’s tough to navigate under these circumstances but you must. You have sacrificed so much for this moment. This moment is yours to cherish, yours to hold onto and yours only. The beautiful and majestic Mount Everest is just over the hill.
