I Know How to Do the Work. Why Is Running the Business So Hard?

CentsableCEO Roundtable Series
Event Date, Time & Location: September 2, 2026 | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm EST | Online
A Conversation with: Guest TBA
Roundtable Description:
Many entrepreneurs start businesses because they’re good at what they do.
They’re skilled professionals, tradespeople, consultants, service providers, and experts in their field. Yet many discover that knowing how to do the work and knowing how to run a business are two very different things.
Over time, responsibilities like managing finances, making decisions, leading people, creating systems, and planning for growth often become just as important as the work itself.
Together we’ll examine why knowing how to do the work and knowing how to run a business are often very different skill sets.
The discussion will explore:
Attendees will leave with a clearer perspective on the difference between doing the work and building the business, along with practical questions to help them think more intentionally about their next stage of growth.
This is not a business workshop. It’s an honest conversation about entrepreneurship.
Best For: Entrepreneurs, professionals, tradespeople, and those who support business owners and want to better understand why technical expertise alone is rarely enough to successfully lead and grow a business.
Complimentary to attend.
