If you’ve ever run a small business, you know the truth: some days you feel like you’re juggling flaming torches while riding a bicycle with a blindfold on and still trying to smile on the zoom call. That’s because every business actually has three jobs in one: the Visionary, the Organizer, and the Doer.
At Gig’s Greenhouse Consulting & Advisory Solutions (GGCAS), we call this the “Hat Trick.” To grow a business, you’ve got to know which hat you’re wearing …and when to swap it out.
The Visionary
This is your “dreamer hat.” The Visionary is the big thinker, the seed planter, the one with the bold new ideas. They’re sketching visions on napkins and waking up at 3 AM with “the next big thing.”
Superpower: Big-picture vision.
Weakness: Sometimes allergic to details (like…receipts, schedules, or the laws of physics).
The Organizer
This is your “let’s-get-organized hat.” The Organizer takes the wild ideas and puts them into neat rows like a gardener labeling seed packets. They love order, process, and making sure the lights stay on.
Superpower: Planning and structure.
Weakness: Can kill the fun if they overwater the rules.
The Doer
This is your “roll-up-your-sleeves hat.” The Doer is the one who actually makes the thing, delivers the service, or answers the call. Without them, nothing gets done.
Superpower: Getting things across the finish line.
Weakness: Can get stuck in the weeds and forget to look up at the bigger picture.
Why You Need All Three Hats
Here’s the kicker: your business can’t run on just one hat.
Visionary = lots of ideas, lacks execution.
Organizer = tidy systems but doesn’t have that visionary spark.
Doer= busy, busy, busy… but never growing.
Balance is the magic. A thriving business needs vision, structure, and elbow grease.
