Q: After putting in all these hours, why am I still stuck?
Most likely you’re focusing on the wrong things.
You see many business owners like us get caught up in day-to-day operations, micromanaging every detail, and always putting out fires.
If at the end of the day you feel like you only did these three things, or some mix of them, then you’re probably missing out on one of your biggest tools and a secret weapon for successful companies.
Talk to successful entrepreneurs, and one thing they will agree on is that the key to getting unstuck is not to work harder.
Instead, it’s about creating leverage.
And I don’t mean debt.
It is about lifting heavy burdens with less effort by using tools and even natural laws in business – the equivalent of a simple pully system that lifts huge boulders.
In your business, leverage comes from two things: systems and delegation.
Systems allow you to automate the repetitive, time-sucking tasks that don’t grow your business while providing a level of consistency which is scalable and attractive to customers (if done right).
Delegation means trusting others to handle things you shouldn’t be touching in the first place.
It’s like a client of mine who insisted on spending hours of his weekend doing his own books instead of outsourcing for less than $20 an hour.
It burned him out and kept the business stuck in mediocrity until he realised what it was really costing him.
An opportunity to focus on what really builds wealth – which wasn’t copying and pasting Excel formulas.
The secret weapon is to shift your mindset and attack where you are the bottleneck.
When you do so, your business starts to run without you.
Suddenly, as that much overused cliché goes: you’re not just working in your business—you’re working on it.
And that’s where the real growth happens.
So, if you’re feeling stuck, bring out that secret weapon. Start building systems. Start delegating.
And start turning your business into the wealth-generating machine it’s meant to be.
