Dan Lok This was a GREAT EYE OPENING VIDEO. I have many friends who have had a similar brain fart. They have failed because they were technicians, who rebelled against their owners thoughts, thinking they could do better. I have ordered the book and his others as well. I was thinking of teaming up with a friend who has a landscaping business. He lacks growth and the ability to increase pricing and lock in contracts and service options prior to seasonal changes, thereby missing making money at the various seasonal cycles. Since joining the HTC COURSE, I have put that idea on hold. Thanks Nick Mirante NY

When someone says oh you run a business! I say no not yet, the business runs me. I never wanted to have a business, never had the mentality...I was made an entrepreneur by the very clients I had relationships with for years. Now I have been put in a position to influence my mentality to prosper in a business atmosphere.

I remember Michael Gerber saying in his book that “most business owners, fire their bosses and go and work for someone even crazier... themselves!” Made me chuckle a little bit lol

Dear Mr.Dan,this is Dr.Jemal from Ethiopia.Your lectures are very practical and highly applicable.l am addicted to listening to them and have benefited a lot.l am making a lot of progress after l started following your teachings.Keep up the hard work, and thanks a lot

This has made me realize that the faster I can build my team, the faster I can focus on not being a technician. This gave me a deeper understanding and knowledge of what it is that I need to do, in order to expand: hire quality people, and the three differing types of people you listed. Dan I have been finding your content EXTREMELY valuable. Your message and delivery have been impeccable and I am kust eating up your videos and F.U. money.

Dan your videos are pouring the foundation for my future business. I will continue to follow you until you stop making them. Thanks for sharing what you have mastered.

Love the E-Myth - Its a great insight that someone has to work on her/his business and not get caught up in the technical details.

Hola Dan, gracias!!! I am an entrepreneur who grew up to believe this cultural saying-quote, "Al ojo del amo engorda el caballo". "The horse fattens on his master's eye," I am very successful even though I have worn "the three hats". And am on my route to freedom. I want to learn to delegate efficiently, and your videos are just amazing! Nevertheless my biggest fear in doing so, is that I think-believe no one can do my job better since it is my business. I know I am wrong, that is why I am following you and this comunity if great entrepreneurs. Thank you.

Hi Dan. Yes I have been following your videos for quite some days and I find each and everyone very stimulating my creativity of thinking larger. My story is that I have landed in a situation for some years where my panic attacs limited me to go out my house to maximum 15 min. by bycicle. And since a few months now I have finally found the help that was needed to overcome them as good as possible. So now that I'm getting mentally stronger, the sparkle of the entrepreneur spirit inside of me starts to raise in flame and that is thanks to you. I had a clothing shop many years before but it lasted only one year. You reminded me of that because I too have turned the key before it was too late. So I got out the business without any losts (very fortunately). Now what I have in mind is to inspire the flame in people's hart that can create a specific brand and launch a product, based on that brand, globaly. I still have some research to do, which I will, and get in to it (as you say hihi). Thanks for all your help. There should more people like you. You are really an inspiring on your own. Aïcha

Hi Dan, so far this series has been on point with my reality. I am in deed a technician with an entrepreneur seizure. It hits me hard because I know how to do the work but knew nothing about running a business. I just closed my business for the year but one of my biggest take aways was that I really sucked at sales and marketing. I am in your HTC program and I am planning on using whatever I learn from that course, I know I can apply it when I open for business again next year. Reading you F.U money book has really changed my perspective on my lifestyle.

Thank you for this video. I think something that's really hard for a lot of technicians who have an 'entrepreneurial seizure' is, as you've pointed out, to admit that their skillset has nothing to do with running a successful business. Especially if they're really great at what they do. But it's the truth.

From Nigeria, you are Amazing. Thanks a million. God bless

Before I watch Dan's video, I always tought I paid too much for my 'technician' and 'manager' because I can all of that myself! Now Im realize how wrong I'm, and that mental shift really make huge impact.

Wow thank you Dan! knowing when to apply which type of person in the business growth process really helps a lot

+Natalie Piccioni exactly! Too many people are only a technician in their business

I would work on my High Income Skill and also work under my mentor so that i can observe and learn other skills required to Start or Run a Business. Thank you so much Dan!

Hey Dan, I have recently found your video and they are really gonna be helpful in my business specially this one, well I'm running a small business as a technician, manager and entrepreneur an I was proud to be that before but thankfully I know this will help in my other business plan that I'm aware of doing coz I have no knowledge. And I will buy the book E-myth right away thanks man.

you hit the nail on the head, ïm technician trying to grow a business, and I now need to learn new skills to actually grow a business

I agree with this video because am 16 am trying to start my bussiness I hope one day I can be worthy 30 million by helping me my family and being able to do what ever I want . I understand your idea you have to have everything systemized so there's one technician on one thing so they don't have to jump on all different things and everyone's focused on one job

Thank you, Dan for the much needed reminder

Great content. Looking forward to your next video continuing this discussion. I’m very interest in your thinking of the right balance for these three personality types.

Your my hero since i started viewing you my life changed the way I think concerning business

This content is gold. Thank you Dan.

The question I had after reading the e-myth revisited, is: "but how does one who has a high income skill then hire someone to replace himself as the technician, without first developing skills that are at least double one's current high income skill (without destroying margins and/or requiring significant capital to bootstrap?). I think this is the dilemma that most "S" (self employed) business owners run into. If you get off the treadmill to repair it, you need to first stop the machine. The only hint that I received in the book was to develop systems instead of relying upon people. So let McDonalds be run by teenagers with very strict guidelines instead of counting on hiring the smartest managers. And this works great for things that are easily automated (flipping burgers) but hard for things that are not easily systematized (for instance, software development, marketing, etc.). Not to say it can't be done, but it's definitely harder.

If we want to solve this problem of technician then we have to outsource that work and get to the next level.

I always have aha moments when watching Dan's videos. I really appreciate you taking your time to make these videos. I totally agree with what you said here. I'm starting a new business soon. I now believe I'm a technician. Does it mean I have to employ the other two types of personalities right from the start?

"the most important thing i learned from the job is... working with somebody else is sucks" - Dan Lok LMAO savage af haha

Thanks Dan - Yes I made this fatal mistake and had to shut the business down. So True

Thanks Dan, This video is seriously mind-opening one.

Dan I’m reading it for the second time. Plan on reading it six more times. Thanks for the recommendation

i am a graphic designer, running my brand consultant company. and your video hurt me hard! thanks sifu!

Dan, I was curious, what would you recommend to an enthusiast technician who wants to learn and eventually master the art of business? Would that be something like developing on business skills before actually leaping into practically applying it or learning in the process?

Dear Dan, thank you for the insightful video. May I know how would you reconcile a situation where all members of the team wants to play the role of an "entrepreneur" and nobody wants to be the "Technician" or "Manager".

Thanks for this Video Dan. Can i get the link to the video where you talked about the success cycle please. Thank you

I think what I have learn from this book is to provide a leader like approach to your business under which managers and technician work.

Mind blowing😍😍😍

Damn! I tought getting better at what I do so I can start a business is good idea... I'll check out the book. Already found full audiobook on soundcloud so no excuse not to listen to it.

Business need 3: entrepreneur: the vision Manager: team Technician: do the work

Understand your point. but for startup... there is a problem if we can't get off that technician thing. but that's the only way is it?

i dont have a business yet but i want to thats why i follow you to learn from the best

mmmm..., just because you may be skilled at whatever the main function (service) of the business is, does not mean you are able to successfully have and grow a healthy profit-producing, long-lasting company, (HTC group 3), Thank you for the insight Shifu
