RC Flores did a fantastic job keeping this team intact and inspired. Honestly, I’m blown away by what this company, Clean Zone PH—this family—has become. It’s humbling to realize that the company I started is actually better off without me. Yep, you heard that right.
As an entrepreneur, you’re often in the thick of things, operating from the inside and wrestling with a vision that feels like an uphill battle. But when you step back and observe from the outside, you gain a fresh perspective. You start to see the beauty in letting others lead and recognizing that they might just be better at it than you are.
This experience has taught me the importance of wearing different hats at different phases of the business. It’s crucial to have the maturity to step aside and let other leaders take the helm. Trust me, it’s not easy, but it’s essential. Being humble enough to acknowledge others’ strengths allows you to appreciate the business’s growth without being in the trenches.
In my case, I’m grateful. As a part-owner, I get to see the company flourish without being directly involved in the day-to-day operations. It’s a testament to the power of inspired teamwork and the importance of trust. Learn to trust others, let them shine, and watch as your business reaches new heights.
