Stop grinding yourself into burnout. Act like a shareholder in your own business instead: collect profits, exercise voting rights, and pick your leadership team. That's how you build something that scales.
The idea of entrepreneurship is just bastardized. I thought entrepreneurship was hustle and grind and workaholism. It's not. You can't scale a business that way. You know, that's the trap now that entrepreneurship equals hustle and grind. It's not scalable. The day you're tired, the day you're done, the business is done. I want you to own a new label starting today. It's a shareholder. Yeah, a shareholder. What does a shareholder do? If you own public stock, for example, you collect the profits, you render opinions or votes, and you determine the leadership team. Those are the three elements you should be doing for the business you started. So starting today, no longer call yourself an entrepreneur, even though I love that term, call yourself a shareholder, because that's how you need to behave.
