Show Quotes 

Profitability comes from efficiency.

The idea of the bursting point: If you want to grow beyond a certain stage, and you continue to try and grow with having everything on your own shoulders, that’s where you’re going to burst. Look into getting some type of support and build systems and processes around that.

Centralize and get stuff out of your brain. Set up some type of management system or online tool that can help you with the “to do” list of the business. If your “to do” list is way too long, then chances are something needs to change.

At a certain stage of growth, the business owner should not be the one doing everything anymore. You want to really know what should be on your plate vs. what you can have someone help you with.

Make profit a habit. Profit is the business paying itself first!
