Each. There are patterns of when we get enslaved to the operations, and one of Mike's favorite quotes says, "Great operators get tired. Great business owners get rich".
What An Entrepreneur Thinks Compared To A CEO
The first one that comes to mind, and I think it's the most important distinction is the business operator gets up thinking about, "What do I need to get done?" but the business owner wakes up thinking "What decisions do I need to make today?"
Not Asking For Help Soon Enough.

Mike talks about one of the biggest mistake that he sees in business owners and the fact - they don't ask for help soon enough. Having a coach or a mentor to help you as you make decisions, can be a lifesaver for so many business owners. Taking care of yourself and having masterminds get involved can accelerate your mind-shift. It is shocking how asking for help or slowing down can actually get you to your goal faster. Investing in yourself and your time away from work, pays series dividends and these massive dividends helps you shift from the operator to owner.

I had to learn this the hard way and I talk about the moment I had to start removing myself from my agency and start asking for help. Game-changer.
Don't Hire Someone That's Like You.
At the top of the list of things to think about and learn is, don't hire someone that is like you. First of all, you are already really good at being you. Why would you hire someone that's like you? Second, focus on finding somebody to complement you. There's no such thing as finding someone to replace you because you are the entrepreneur. It is your vision.

As entrepreneurs, we are the risk-takers. the progress and success depend on us because we have that entrepreneurial spirit and this is our company. Remember, Ideally you want the whole organization to have elements of that spirit but it can not replace that spirit.
