Stop Being An Employee
As a business owner you will need to make sure that you understand the difference between working for yourself and building a scalable business. Of course, many business owners will be able to tell you about a time when it was only them doing everything and all from an office the size of a cupboard.
The difference that sets the success stories apart is that they had a clear vision of where they wanted to be, and how to get there. They understood that to grow they needed to put processes in place for others to do the day to day work of the business.
So, the next time you realise that you haven’t had a day off in forever, and that you seem to be doing a great impression of a hamster on a wheel; Stop. Take stock. Change.
By investing time in writing the manuals, employing someone and delegating you will find that you can pay more attention to how you are going to build your business for growth and sustainability.
Alternatively, if you are not at a stage where you can afford or commit to employing someone, look at where you can streamline processes through automation.
Making the leap from employee to business owner is often a difficult change for people especially those who are used to getting things done, it can be hard to accept that you won’t always be doing the work as you will need to be focussed on the strategies and processes that will grow your business.
