I love it Paula … I’m not what other foodies would consider a foodie, but I am a beer snob and so many points you made about food/wine (insert beer) here ring true with running a business. It’s all about satisfying your clients … and they are all different. Find out what “notes” of your business will attract the clients you want.

In reply to DeniseWakeman.

Thank you Denise! I see people get into big trouble when they either 1)
Put their head in the sand (avoid) or 2) Abdicate. While not a food
analogy, if you think of professional sports or top musicians, we see it
all the time. They abdicate (instead of delegate) all their fiscal responsibilities and then wonder how they could have made $40 million and be destitute.

While not as big sums (typically) for the average business owner… you can’t just turn the oven on and forget about it (circling back to the foodie metaphor)

Fabulous article. Being a foodie too, I can relate to your analogies! And I love your point about outsourcing… you can delegate but not abdicate. I find that a lot of business owners would prefer to abdicate, and then they wonder why their business isn’t doing well.
