You know what I’ve come to realize? It’s actually harder to manage success than it is to achieve it.
As a small business owner providing technology solutions to the federal government for the past 18 years, I never really thought about this—have you? It’s easy to believe that once you’ve reached a certain level of success, everything will just fall into place. But the truth is, without proper management, success can actually lead to burnout or even collapse.
I’m always learning and growing, and when I come across something that shifts my perspective, I can’t help but share it with others. Why? Because I practice unselfish thinking—one of the most important skills in both life and business.
The Danger of Owning a Job Instead of a Business
A lot of small business owners fall into the trap of working in their business instead of working on their business. They keep their heads down, grinding away day after day, thinking that hard work alone is the key to long-term success. But in reality, many of them don’t truly own a business—they just own a job.
And let me tell you, I don’t want to just own a job. I want to build something sustainable, something that grows beyond just me. How about you?
- Do you feel like you own a business or just own a job?
- Are you truly an entrepreneur, or are you just self-employed?
- Do you spend more time handling day-to-day tasks, or are you strategizing for growth?
There’s a big difference between being self-employed and being an entrepreneur. The good news? If you feel stuck in the self-employed cycle, you can turn it around—as long as you become aware and take action.
Managing Success the Right Way
Right now, I’m at a stage where managing my success is just as important as achieving it. If I don’t take control, I could easily become overwhelmed, unproductive, or even stagnant.
That’s why I’m shifting my focus from just doing the work to building the business. And in doing so, I want to help other small business owners realize the same thing:
Growth is not just about working harder—it’s about working smarter.
