This YouTube video (by Eric Deeran - Master Filmmaker) gives practical advice for editors who want to grow from being individual technicians into business owners. In this segment the speaker emphasizes hiring other editors who match your skill level so you can delegate editing work, freeing you to focus on gaining more clients and building a client base. The speaker also frames an early decision for editors: remain the sole technician or step back, hire, and release control so others can perform the editing tasks.

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.
