Nice job! Now it's time to embrace your inner CEO!

A funny thing happens when you reach this point in your business. It's as if all the work you put in at the growth stage finally begins to pay off. New opportunities come your way. Your income (and your impact) increase seemingly on their own, and when you say to your spouse, "Maybe I'll take next summer off," they don't roll their eyes at you because they know it's entirely possible.

At this stage in your business it's time to start delegating the tasks that must be done, but that aren't the best use of your time. Whether it's bookkeeping, tech troubleshooting, graphic design, or dozens of other projects you don't love doing or aren't proficient with, there's someone out there who will do it well... and it will probably cost less than you think it will.

Don't let a fear of spreadsheets hold you back from using this powerful business builder.
