This is one of the biggest lessons that business owners must learn, especially new business which are 5 years or younger. It's really important to find the natural rhythm of your business, yourself, your managers, and your employees (i.e. what works best and who is best suited for the job. Unfortunately, it might not be right for the boss to wear all of the "hats" which is quite a different paradigm shift from what many have thought to be true for small business owners.) Sometimes business is a lot like swimming and even the most experienced swimmers have to come up for some air! Thanks for the reminder. No need picking up sea shells by the sea shore when your talent really is describing the sea shells to your customer...Thanks for the reminder...http://theinfinitefieldmagazine.com Lea:

You're right, this applies at all levels of business. (Can you tell who I'm oh-so-sneakily targeting, though? Ha.) In a commission-based environment -- like the one I'm guessing your former financial services job was in -- I imagine that if you DIDN'T stick to your "highest and best use," you didn't get paid as well. True? @Heather Kephart:

I think this applies to all professionals, not just small business owners. Nobody likes a micro-manager. Just make sure you have the BEST people on your staff & let them do what you pay them for so you can get on to the business of doing what YOU do best! Excellent post!
