Women Business Owners as Adminstrative Entrepreneurs
By | December 19, 2008
An adminstrative entrepreneur is a professional woman in business who is responsible for the daily functions of a business operation. You might be the owner and founder of that business and do the adminstrative work along with your area of speciality. However, some business founders and owners are not the best at also doing the daily adminstration of the business.
In the popular book, E-Myth, Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It, author Michael Gerber explains why entrepreneurs don’t always make good adminstrators. Knowing how to do what you love doesn’t mean you know how to run the operations of a business. And even if you can do it, you may not want to.
For example, being a cake decorator could be what you love to do, but having to do the mundane paper work that goes along with taking orders, keeping the books and filing taxes might drive you up a wall. Instead, you hire a business adminstrator to do the work.
One of the best things you can do for your business is determine right away if you are an adminstrative entrepeneur or not. Figure this out when you do your business plan to assure yourself the greatest success in your entrepreneurial venture.
