Be Like Mike
“Do what you do best and let someone else do best what you aren’t good at”. - Dave Laxton
Even Michael Jordan worked with a great coach. Would Michael have been as great if he had not played for Phil Jackson? I doubt it. Phil Jackson was as good a coach as Michael was a player. It was a “fit”. Regardless of how good you are, a great coach can help you be even better.
Of course, there is always the issue of “coachability”. Can you be coached? Are you open to someone else telling you what to do to be better? This is one of the hardest things for an entrepreneur to do. Entrepreneurs give birth to their ideas. They are like doting parents who are scared to death to leave their baby with a sitter.
But! Entrepreneurs, although incredible at giving birth to their ideas, tend to be lousy business managers. The two skills just don’t go together. Entrepreneurs need to stop trying to run the business and go give birth to another great idea.
Do what you do best and let someone else do best what you aren’t good at.
