I learned that the hard way by a former employee, mostly because I trusted him without "managing" him. And I'm still recovering from the damage. I didn't find a healthy balance of managing the manager... But ultimately, isn't everything a benefit as long as you learn from the experience? :) Thanks for comment, Jacqueline!

Owning a business and running a business are two completely separate things. Learning to leverage your MONEY is one thing, but learning to leverage your TIME is like one of those made-for-TV-movie moments where there's a break in the clouds with a golden ray of sunshine streaming through. Like any investment, though, even when you hire people to do the 'heavy lifting' (like property, business or office managers) you still need to be involved enough to manage the manager. Working IN the business looks different than working ON the business but there's still work involved. Great post! You’ve hit the nail on the head!
