The truth is, most business are just OK. Truly great businesses don't end up as such by accident. For businesses to grow exponentially, they need systems. Take a look at any company and you'll see that their growth is limited by their systems. Simple as that.

If there are aspects of your business that aren't being done in a highly repeatable, systemized way, your growth will inevitably be limited. Businesses start to experience truly breakthrough results once they start implementing the right systems. These typically include systems for managing the day-to-day operations as well as systems to acquire new clients at will.

The true pitfall of most business owners is that they're not actually business owners. They're business operators. You see, when the business "owner" is so preoccupied with the day-to-day runnings of the business that they don't have time to actually grow the business, it's only a matter of time until the business dies.

A business owner's job is not to work in the business, but rather, to work on the business.

How are you spending your time?

If you're spending the majority of your time working in the business, good chances are that you need to start putting systems in place to fix that if you want to scale up your business, your income, and your lifestyle.
