9 Warning Signs You May Stuck In The Middle of Your Business

If you were to draw a picture that visually represents your role in your business, what would it look like? Are you at the top of a traditional Christmas-tree-like organizational chart, or are you stuck in the middle of your business, like a hub in a bicycle wheel? 

As anyone knows who's tried to fly United when O’Hare Airport has been hit by a snowstorm, a hub-and-spoke model is only as strong as the hub.  The moment the hub is overwhelmed, the entire system fails.

So this week, Chip reveals the nine warning signs you’re a hub-and-spoke owner. We'll also discuss suggestions for pulling yourself out of the middle of your business.
