A short advice-focused transcript excerpt for editors about transitioning from being a hands-on technician to becoming a business owner. The speaker urges editors to hire other editors of comparable skill so they can delegate day-to-day editing work, freeing themselves to focus on client acquisition and growing a client base that can pay the team. The passage emphasizes making an early decision between remaining the sole technician or stepping back to hire and release control.

I'm an editor, and I'm trying to run a business. Yeah. So because you are the technician. Right. So you're a editor. If you want to be a business owner, you need to find other editors who are just as good as you. So then you can delegate that, and then you can focus on getting more clients and building more building more of a client base to then pay those editors. Right. And so I think that's another thing, is a lot of people want to be the technician, but you kind of have to make a decision in the beginning, like, do I want to only be the one doing this thing, or do I want to step take a step back, maybe, and start hiring and releasing control so other people can start stepping in and doing that for me? You know, that's true.
