Moving Towards Business Ownership
By Derrick | April 2, 2008

Richard Lee has a great post on his blog about task responsibility. As you move towards outsourcing every process in your business, your personal involvement becomes less and less necessary.
Eventually, you become a business owner, by Robert Kiyosaki’s definition - you can leave your business completely for a year and get back to find it running as well as, or better than it ran before you left.
I’ll be launching my intern program later this week - watch out for it. It’s the first step in not having to do it all myself.

Interesting….does this really work, though?

well, it would work, if you have a business that has over 700 employes.
this is the missing piece of the puzzle. Derrick forgot to say, that Kyiosaki said you can live your business and live for two years or more, and when you come back you will find it more developed and powerful then it was when you left it, if you have…
1. a good team
2. a good product
3. at least 700 employes
You can call yourself a business man when you have at least 700 employes.
There are many things to say about these subject.
Maybe in another day, i will say to you more secrets. Or maybe you will join my newsletter and then you can contact me personally.

Most people who start there own business these days do not have that many employees (if any at all besides themselves). So it would be a good idea to be a “part of the system” as much as possible if there are only a few people working with you to make sure things are always going smoothly.

My comment is about Robert Kiyosaki’s definition, that as business owner, you can leave your business completely, and get back to find it running as well as, or better than it ran before you left. I feel it is too optimistic. Most of the time it is just cannot be done. The owner should be present. It may be more true in Internet businesses, like websites or affiliate programs.

This is so true. Just look at the people who have great success they find people to run every aspect of the company. This way the owner has less and less work everyday and it finaly runs itself after sometime.

I totally agree, but just as long as you hire highly qualified professionals who can do their jobs more than satisfactorily, then you can certainly “leave your business completely for a year and get back to find it running as well as, or better than it ran before you left.”
