Most Entrepreneurs Get Stuck. Here’s Why.
They spend too much time working IN the business and not enough working ON the business.
🚨 If you’re always busy, but not growing, THIS is why.
❌ "In the Business" (Employee Mode)
Doing daily tasks (answering emails, posting content).
Managing everything manually.
No long-term strategy—just survival mode.
✅ "On the Business" (CEO Mode)
Building systems that run without you.
Hiring people to handle repetitive work.
Focusing on strategy, growth, and scaling.
🔥 Want to scale? You MUST shift to CEO mode.
Step 1: Track Your Time (Where Is It Actually Going?)
Most entrepreneurs waste 80% of their time on things that don’t move the needle.
🚀 Action Step: For the next 3 days, track every task you do.
✔ Highlight high-impact tasks (strategy, sales, hiring). ✔ Cross out low-impact tasks (manual admin work, endless content edits).
Then, automate, delegate, or delete low-impact tasks.
Step 2: Systemise Everything (So It Runs Without You)
If you have to do the same task more than 3 times, it needs a system.
🔥 Best Systems to Build: ✔ Lead Generation System → Automate client attraction. ✔ Content Creation System → Batch-create & repurpose content. ✔ Onboarding System → Standardise how you bring in new clients.
🚀 Action Step: Choose ONE repetitive task and create a simple system for it today.
Step 3: Stop Doing $10/Hour Work (Hire & Automate)
🔹 If you’re making £10K/month, your time is worth £100+/hour. 🔹 If you spend hours doing tasks you could outsource for £5-£10/hour, you’re LOSING money.
🔥 What to Delegate First: ✔ Admin tasks (emails, scheduling). ✔ Editing (video, graphics, content). ✔ Customer support.
🚀 Action Step: Hire a virtual assistant for 5-10 hours/week.
Final Thought: Scale Requires Letting Go
Your business won’t grow if you’re the bottleneck.
Shift from Employee Mode to CEO Mode, and your revenue will scale without adding more hours.
