72: Which "Hat" Do You Wear in Your Business - Technician, Manager, or Entrepreneur?
Hosts John Kozicki (Michigan Rock School and RockSchoolProprietor.com) and Mandy York (Music Time of Milford) adapt Michael Gerber’s E-Myth to music schools, breaking down the three essential roles—technician, manager, and entrepreneur—and how each impacts running your studio.
They discuss how to identify which role fits you, practical ways to delegate or hire, using systems and tech to streamline work, and why shifting from “how” to “who” can prevent burnout and enable growth.
In this episode:
There are three primary roles in every business: technician, manager, entrepreneur.
How to identify your role, or the role you're best suited for in your lesson business.
The technician is often the doer, focused on the technical aspects.
The manager oversees operations and ensures efficiency.
The entrepreneur drives vision and innovation.
Self-awareness helps in identifying which role you play, and which you want to play.
Each role has its own set of characteristics and challenges, and how balancing these roles can lead to better business outcomes and greater personal fulfillment.
Recognizing your strengths can enhance your effectiveness in your role and how collaboration among roles is key to a successful business.
