"Most entrepreneurs are merely technicians with an entrepreneurial seizure. Most entrepreneurs fail because you are working IN your business rather than ON your business"
- Michael Gerber
About this Quote
In this quote, Michael Gerber is highlighting a common error made by entrepreneurs. He recommends that many entrepreneurs are skilled in their specific field or market, but do not have the required skills to effectively run and grow an organization. Gerber describes this as an "entrepreneurial seizure," where individuals are driven by their enthusiasm and expertise, but do not have the tactical frame of mind needed to truly be successful. He goes on to discuss that the key to success as an entrepreneur is to deal with the business, rather than getting caught up in the daily tasks and operations. This suggests taking an action back to concentrate on the larger photo and implementing techniques for long-term growth and success. By doing so, business owners can avoid the typical mistake of getting lost in the information and ultimately increase their possibilities of success.
