From the desk of Razvan Rogoz
Dear friend,
I am not only Razvan Rogoz. I have actually three personalities. Now, don’t be scared. I’m not crazy.
I’ll explain in a second.
Every entrepreneur or business owner has three personalities. If you don’t believe me, ask Michael Gerber in “The E-Myth Revisited”, one of the best books on system thinking ever wrote.
- I’m Razvan the technician – writing the copy, writing this article, putting in the work.
- I’m Razvan the manager – creating plans, updating Basecamp, managing my time, writing goals, allocating resources, finding help and so on.
- I’m Razvan the entrepreneur – dreaming, finding opportunities, creating systems, looking for ways to grow and evolve.
Three personalities in one. And what I’ve discovered, what I’ve understood recently is that the more these three personalities are balanced in a manner of 33.3%, 33.3%, 33.3%, the more competent that person will be.
Some people are technicians by nature. They like to get the work done, whatever that work is and don’t really concern themselves with management or entrepreneurship. Others are managers or entrepreneurs, focusing on order and opportunities. The idea is to balance these three.
The idea is that if you have three hours available …
- Use one to plan and keep everything in order.
- Use one to do your work.
- Use one to find opportunities for your work to value more in the future.
In other words – execution, management, vision.
Is it easy to keep such a balance in place? No, it’s not. But life is about balance. You can’t go 90% A and zero B if you need both. If you want to be productive you need both work and rest. If you want to grow a successful business you need to be the technician, manager and entrepreneur, all in one package.
For your profits,
Razvan Rogoz
