Why a One Man Show Simply Won't Work

Posted by Jack Garson on February 26, 2010

Over the years I’ve met plenty of great, hardworking business owners, like “Bob”. They start with a vision, put in 14 hours days for decades and build up successful companies. They go to work early and stay late. They personally shake every client’s hand and close every deal. They build their company one meeting at a time and their greatest capital is themselves. They’ve put their blood, sweat and tears into running every aspect of the company. Unfortunately, there is only so much of that owner to go around.
