A short spoken excerpt advising video editors who want to run a business to transition from being the primary technician to a business owner by hiring/delegating to other editors. The speaker emphasizes deciding early whether to remain the sole doer or to step back, relinquish control, hire peers, and focus on client acquisition and scaling the client base to pay those editors.
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.
