I am on a mission to end the small business time trap.
No one talks about the REAL RISK OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP. We have all heard the statistics about the large % of businesses that fail in the first 5 years but I don’t believe that is the risk we should all be afraid of. The real risk of entrepreneurship is found in businesses with both abundant and scarce sales.
The real risk is the business time trap...getting stuck in a place where you:
can’t replicate your results
can’t successfully delegate
can’t get a break
The escape from the business time trap lies in processes and systems.
My entrepreneurial life started as a the owner of a small tutoring company (small = just me). I was doing the books, advertising, tutoring, developing curriculum, and trying to keep breathing in and out. When I couldn’t do it alone anymore, I did some major investment time in learning how to systematize the business.
