How Not to Structure Your Team

Decisions, fires from all sides are going to exhaust you, if you're not exhausted already. If you don't give anyone the responsibility for them to do their own work and make their own choices, without coming to you for every second, then you will have this. And you will have a sad face that wants to crawl in the corner all of the time. 

The reason why we need to choose a structure specifically is so everyone knows what they're doing, who they report to, and when. You can really set up the controls of your systems way easier when everyone knows where their place is. 

When a business is very small, there tends to be a lot of overlapping roles and the problem with that is that everyone looks at you, the owner, in order to fix every problem. But when we pull apart the way the structure really should look, you can see, as an owner, how many hats you're wearing, probably 17 different ones, and we can figure out which ones you're really good at and which ones we can give to more of your team.
