You’ve probably heard many entrepreneurs and business owners say this exact phrase:
“My business is my baby”
You may have even said this yourself!
But I bet you don’t realise how destructive this type of thinking actually is for your business and your life!
Of course, your business is precious and important to you, like a baby would be.
BUT a baby needs constant attention and you get anxious when you leave a baby with other people.
Does this sound like how you really want to be with your business?
You want your business to be able to work WITHOUT you so you can take time away and enjoy the life you’re creating.
To do this you need to have clear systems in place.
You need to have your SOPs written down and accessible to all your employees.
Don’t be afraid to give your employees more responsibility.
Have training time blocked out to teach them.
You want to be able to go on holiday and not worry about your business falling flat.
You want to take weekends and evenings off.
You want to be able to leave everything in an emergency and know that when you come back you’re still going to be making money.
So remember, a machine, not a baby!
Are you treating your business like a baby or a machine?
