Dear reader,

The Job Of The Small Business Owner
The question is often asked: What is the job of the Small Business Owner in starting and growing a small business? The answer to this question could be found in defining the role of the Small Business Owner.
The key aspects of the job of the Small Business Owner range from setting the vision and creating strategy, through raising capital and building an all-star team, to communicating the strategy and holding everyone accountable.
The job title of the Small Business Owner carries weight. The Small Business Owner is the big boss, the leader of the team.
But what is a Small Business Owner and what are the main deliverables of the position? This is more art than science and individuals evolve in their own right, on the strength of their acumen, personalities and leadership styles. For every Small Business Owner, knowing what to do can be a challenge. This makes it critical for the Small Business Owner to understand the role. Or what the role should be.

MANAGING THE TEAM
Growing A Small Business: Hiring The Right People
Getting new employees can be as simple as standing in front of your business and yelling “who wants a job’ and then placing the first people that show an interest in the vacant roles.
But if you want to get the right people to help grow your business, the process is different.
It starts with defining or redefining the role you want to be filled up to evaluating how well they fit into your company.
Many small business owners don’t give the hiring process the attention it deserves.
