The Oakland Athletics also made the playoffs, and dreams of a Bay Bridge Series dance in my head. My mind has been taken over by baseball. Build a team, not just a star. No baseball franchise makes the postseason solely on the performance of one or two players. Yes, it's great to have a Barry Bonds or Sammy Sosa, but it takes depth to win consistently.
Many entrepreneurs erroneously believe they are solely responsible for their business success.
Do whatever work is necessary. A friend of mine laughs at me because I like pitchers who also can hit. As a small-business woman, I know you can't depend on others to take care of things. You don't always have a tech support person to fix the computer, an office manager to buy supplies or a bookkeeper to do your accounts. Even when you have staff, there are never enough people, so you have to be willing to pitch in and stuff envelopes, run errands and answer phones.
