Lewis Howes discusses the hardest phase of business: when you're doing everything yourself. The key is learning to manage your time and build a team so you're not the bottleneck anymore.
The hardest you ever work is when.
You first open a business. You don't even really own a business.
You just own your job. Because if you.
Don'T come to work, the stuff doesn't get produced and the revenue doesn't get produced.
So if you get hurt or sick.
Or take a vacation.
Week, you just.
Expect the revenue go, woo. It's all dependent on you and you know that and that's what you signed up for, so it's okay. But you don't want to stay there because it feels like you're on a treadmill. And so the way to level up out of that.
Is to start to talk about, okay, how do we get.
Some team on board that can create some revenue and that can make some of the widgets? And I've got to learn to manage my.
Freaking time.
Because when you're in the treadmill stage, you're running.
From crisis to crisis to crisis.
You're not doing any.
Thought past the.
Moment and that just is chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos. The customers.
Feel it, your.
Spouse feels it, you feel it. And you don't feel like you're getting.
Traction cause you're not. You're on a treadmill.
And so you've got to start managing your time and going, okay, I'm going.
To set up blocks.
Of time to think about something other than the crisis of the moment. And I'm going to start talking about how can I add.
Team members, just.
A few key ones.
Just to get.
This off of my shoulders.
They're tired.
That is exactly how you level up out of that and move on.
