 |

<p>We all too often hear about "Thinking outside the Box" as the best tactic to grow a business. But it might be necessary to get everything "into a box" before the creativity of you and your team can break out and blossom. So you can run a business and not just have a job. </p>
<p>I talk with owners who work too many hours and wear too many hats. And have no time to think.</p>
<p>Michael Gerber has been working on this problem since 1977. He is an author and the Chairman of E-Myth Worldwide. The E-Myth is short for Entrepreneur Myth, where the small business owner does everything. <a href="http://www.e-myth.com/pub/htdocs/aboutmeg.html">Michael Gerber</a> explains that:</p>
<blockquote>...The E-Myth...[as] a Point of View embodies ...the realization that a business owner's purpose in life can be actualized through his or her business. . .[this approach] provides those typically enslaved by a business with a way out of ...'the tyranny of routine' ...the dull, repetitive work ... doing-it, doing-it, doing-it.</blockquote>
<p>Gerber's solution is to simply put each definable function or part of your business into a box. Then assign a person to fulfill that job's box. </p>
<p>You delineate then delegate. Yes, a simple organization chart with a cost/budget in each box. Then pay someone else to do that job. Basic.</p>
<p>What I find most often from small business owners is that their business is running them, rather than the owner running the business.</p>
<p>Putting your "organization in boxes" might be the chart to guide your business to real growth.</p>
