Time and Sacrifice


The time and sacrifice it takes to help build a company from the ground floor up cannot be romanticized. A person has to be willing to go out there and just do the tasks that are assigned them. Many times people will get out of their comfort zone and do things that they will not ordinarily do in a fully operational company. Co-owners will consequently be wearing several hats in order to get the job done until all the pieces of the company’s infrastructure is completed. By willing to do this owners are able to continue to push a start up company forward and not let it spin on its wheels. However be of good cheer, co-owners will only have to do multiple jobs the first couple of years and than afterwards they will only be required to do what is needed to successfully maintain a fully operational, successful business. By continually tasking one or two individuals to do the work while others are sitting on their heels will not work. There must be a concerted effort by all to get things done and afterwards the rewards will be seen and appreciated by all.
