Bare with me as I am currently processing a lot at the moment. I’ve now just reached a moment of insight. I realize why I failed at running my own business and it is because I did not think like a CEO. A CEO looks at their business operation from a top-down perspective, not from the bottom looking upwards. My previous attempts at running an IT consulting business failed because I looked at business operations from the position of a systems administrator with a narrow job scope and not a CEO. I’m kind of bitterly laughing now at how my mentor at the time must have been driven insane by my non-comprehension of this. I got mired in details that ultimately never mattered because they did not contribute to earnings.
So it is armed with this insight that I go forward. It’s time to learn how to write a business plan. YouTube can probably teach me how to do that. Maybe in my struggles to learn, I can develop content for others who are struggling. The world might be my oyster yet. Maybe I should simply google how to think like a CEO?
I still have so much to process and I need help with it. I’m still scratching at the surface of my insight. I’m trying to put this into accurate words so I can ask for help effectively. This probably was (and still is) a struggle of mine. I’m so used to not trusting others and taking a very paranoid look at life, that I’ve lost the art of articulating just when and what I need help with. Thankfully, this is not insurmountable. It’s simply a wall meant to be climbed.
For now, my LLC is simply for running my Uber contracting business. It will blossom into so much more.
