Time is the enemy
Time is the enemy for any business owner, as you grow your business you will spend money to give you more time. You will hire staff to do the work and you will spend money on systems and software to reduce time spent on admin and mundane tasks that can be automated.
Your business will not grow by chance, it will take time and effort to grow it and set up the right systems and processes to enable growth. If you are too busy working in your business, you will not have time to set these systems up and your business will stagnate and not grow.
It is very easy to get trapped into working long hours in the business and just managing the business affairs day to day, you can fall into a comfort zone and not have to push yourself. That can be a very lazy way to think in that you are not challenging yourself and to grow your business you will have to move out your comfort zone and do things that do not come easy to you. But the more you do them, the more that they become your new comfort zone.
