Who Are You When Nothing Needs You?
Sep 07, 2026
Being needed.
Most business owners were trained as doers. To be needed. To be indispensable. School programs a good worker: you are important.
Scale requires the opposite. Management by dashboard needs you unimportant. Not needed. Not seen.
The desire to be seen was installed long before the business existed.
So the owner builds a self-managing business, then makes himself necessary again.
Who are you when nothing needs you?
