It took many other people, behind the scenes, to offer delectable snacks and treats like cotton candy twirled on a stick and a variety of beverages for the audience to name a few. They sold tickets and other trinkets to take home as a remembrance of the amazing day. There were recruiters to find the talent and trainers to assist performers in perfecting their acts. How many manual laborers did it take to feed, water, and muck the animal stalls, provide three meals for the performers, clean the train cars each day? Not to mention, someone had to work out the logistics to plan and secure their next location, then market their extraordinary event in advance, be trusted with the finances, etc.
Typically, only a couple people owned the circus. They saw the infinite possibilities to entertain folks during hard times and happy times too.
Would you expect the Circus Owners to perform all the acts and do all the behind-the-scenes duties as well? The answer is NO!
Then, why do entrepreneurs and business owners often believe they must be the face of the company, manage all the marketing, AND do all the behind-the-scenes duties as well to be successful? People need People.
You can’t always be an expert. You can’t always know an expert.
However, you can always hire an expert so you can focus on what you do best and allow others to hire you for your areas of expertise! People need People!
