I believe that
success in life
is about knowing
your strengths and your weaknesses.
Many entrepreneurs are great
at starting companies.
They aren’t great at managing these companies.
Some entrepreneurs sell their companies.
Other entrepreneurs,
including Marie Moody,
fire themselves as CEO.
Marie Moody,
Founder of
Stella & Chewy’s,
shares
“I had to learn everything as I went.
But I surrounded myself with good people
as soon as I could afford to.
I understood that I couldn’t do everything myself
and I had no problem delegating.
Having hundreds of people report to me
and managing performance reviews
and making hiring decisions
is not where I thrive.
I understand these are hugely important things
but they’re not where
I want to focus my energy.
I think more at a strategic level.”
Know your strengths and weaknesses
and have the balls
to fire yourself if you can’t do the job.
