Sadly, many entrepreneurs become a slave to their business. They try to do everything themselves and end up working a horrendous number of hours. Inevitably, they start neglecting their health and family. Worse, they still struggle to grow. In the end, they burn out and have to sell their business for a fraction of what it is worth.

 

But it does not have to be that way. In this podcast, Richard Walsh shares with Gavin details of how to hire the right people so you can delegate 95% of the work. Doing so while still growing your business in a way that enables you to make a monstrous profit when you do want to sell up and exit on your terms.

 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Most entrepreneurs do not prepare to exit their businesses. Often, they end up selling it, in a rush, for virtually nothing.
You may not plan to ever leave your business, but life can force you to do so anyway.
Every business decision you make should include asking yourself how does this affect my exit strategy?
If you are already running a business, pause, and take the time to put together an exit plan.
Be balanced when building your business. Make time for you and your family so you don´t burn out.
Explain your business plan to your family, so they will be supportive during those times when you are stretched.
Put in place a team that can run your business without you. 
Create processes that enable anyone to fulfil any role to build robustness.
Create a mini-you who can step up to do most of your work and give yourself time freedom.

BEST MOMENTS

' Every decision needs to be filtered through the question - does it get me closer to my exit?'

'You´ve got to build a team.'

'We stayed lean we stayed mean, we got super-efficient, we had the right equipment and we automated ourselves to complete jobs quicker.'
