Mark Evans (DM) argues that many entrepreneurs treat small, low-impact issues as equally urgent—so-called "hundred dollar problems"—which keeps them stuck in day-to-day firefighting.

One of the biggest things I see with folks that are entrepreneur business owners disguised as highly paying job for a psycho is that you still have hundred dollar problems. Hundred dollar problems derail you all day, every day. You can't get yourself out of the weeds because everything's an issue and you haven't taught yourself or learned about. Not all problems are created equal in business or in life in general. You're treating everything the same. Everything's a fire drill, for example. If you've ever said something so stupid as to But Mark, I'm like a firefighter over here. I put out fires all day. Huh? Okay. Have you ever thought for a moment because you put out so many fires all day every day that you may be considered an arsonist in your business? You're an arsonist. You've created these fires. You've penny pinched so much you don't hire great people to assist you on the journey.
