Are Entrepreneurs Project Managers? π€
Fake Info about Me! π
So, I’m on a form in Reddit, in particular, it’s not the PMP one. Some person I don’t know, who this person is, says that running, starting a business being an entrepreneur is not a project. This person also says that I, even though this person doesn’t know me at all, this person says that I’m a publisher, I’m a bookwriter, and I haven’t managed actively managed projects in decades. This person, I guess knows me pretty well or knows me personally because that is all a lie. 100%.
I don’t know where you got this from but in this video what I want to talk about in this video is:
I’m going to answer the question and I want you guys to help me answer it. Put in a comment the question is are entrepreneurs project managers that’s the question and let me explain why they are.
You see, I googled this before I started and the answer I got was all project managers may not be entrepreneurs but all entrepreneurs better be project managers and oh yes I agree. Let me tell you guys something this is my business many years ago.
| Key Takeaways |
|---|
| – Not all project managers may be entrepreneurs, but all entrepreneurs need to be project managers |
| – Starting a business requires managing numerous projects simultaneously |
Starting a Business is a Project π
My partner and I started a business called the Tia School of Allied Health 14 years ago. When you open up a business, is that a project? Did I have to manage that? When you acquire locations and you have to build it, look around you. When I acquired this space, it was not built. We had actually to build this entire space.
When you run a medical school like the TI School of Allied Health, do you think that is not a project? This involves numerous regulations and paperwork that must be managed.
| Business Projects |
|---|
| – Acquiring locations and building them |
| – Setting up medical school regulations |
| – Managing CRM, HR, and learning management systems |
So, for this person on the forum that says and I quote "you haven’t had project management experience in decades", wow, you really don’t even know what project management is.
You know nothing about project management period.
Every single thing that’s built up in a business is a project and as an entrepreneur, you’re going to manage multiple, dozens, maybe even hundreds of projects.
| CEO and Project Management |
|---|
| – A successful CEO would be an excellent project manager |
| – A CEO manages numerous projects simultaneously |
Conclusion
Entrepreneurs must be project managers. As an entrepreneur, you’re going to manage multiple projects and the successful completion of these projects will determine the success of the business itself.
This debate about whether entrepreneurs are project managers or not is an essential topic for any aspiring entrepreneur or project manager to understand. Entrepreneurs must have the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, making project management an essential skill for business success.
So, for anyone doubting my experience or spreading false information about me, please just ask me directly. I’m always open to discussing my experiences and expertise in project management and business. Thank you, and have a great day! π
