How To Create A Self-Running Business
Let’s talk about why you started your own business.
I suspect words like “financial freedom” feature a lot as well as the desire to spend more time with your family, being able to travel and see the world, or find that elusive work-life balance. You would think that being your own boss would allow you to organise your time so that you can dial in the right amount of work-life balance wouldn’t you?
Well, how’s that working out for you?
If you are like most small business owners, as you started your business, you would have been caught up in the hundred tiny things you had to work on, especially at the start when resources were too short to hire staff. Then, as the business grew, and you did hire staff, you seem to be spending more and more time “managing” people. As processes became more complicated, the call on your time increased, not decreased. Your new hires had to be shown how to do things, and they couldn’t quite make decisions so you got involved. Then, when things seemd to have settled down somebody resigned and it started all over again!
