You can only truly grow your business once you embrace the magic of “leverage”. Leverage allows you, as a business owner, to maximise your time, resources, and efforts without being bogged down by low-value tasks. It enables you to focus on strategic goals and high-value activities, ultimately leading to better profitability and work-life balance. 

Rob and Dan argue the need to build a solid foundation—starting with hiring and training the right ground crew and office staff—before advancing to higher-level roles or adopting complex technology. By overcoming limiting mindsets, such as “no one is as good as me, it saves me time, energy and money if I do it myself,” business owners can optimise their time, delegate low-value tasks, and create sustainable growth. 

Once that foundation is established, you can fully appreciate the impact of leverage, of which there are three forms: 

1. Money – Investing in resources like staff, systems, or tools that can generate greater returns over time.

2. People – Delegating tasks to the right team members, such as ground crew, admin staff, or project managers, to free up the owner’s time and enable business growth.

3. Systems – Implementing processes and technology, such as job management systems and accounting software, to improve efficiency, reduce manual work, and scale operations effectively.

In this episode you’ll learn:

🔨 Leverage helps business owners focus on growth, not routine tasks. 
🔨 Hiring the right people allows for effective delegation and time-saving. 
🔨 Technology can free up time if used at the right stage. 
🔨 Mindset is crucial; thinking “I can do it all” can hinder growth. 
🔨 Strategic hires should be made in the right order to ensure success. 
🔨 Solid foundations are key for growth, like clear processes and systems. 
🔨 Don’t skip foundational steps; they ensure long-term business success. 
🔨 Leverage is built through money, people, and systems to maximise impact.
