Before you start a business, you need to understand this.

Before you start a business, you need to understand this, no matter what you start, you are going to be the employee for that company. You are going to be employee number one. That is your job. You see there is usually three phases to a business life, and as you go and grow you'll get to these different phases. And in step one, when you start a company, you're probably doing everything. You're probably in charge of marketing, you're probably in charge of getting sales, you're in charge of collecting the money from customers. You got to do it all. You got to go out network. And that's the hardest part of starting a business. And that's where a lot of people struggle and get stuck. But if you're successful at that, you'll get to level two. And step number two is where you start to figure out you have a company. You're no longer just an employee there, you have a company. And with that means is you now have enough resources coming in that you can trade your money for your time. Meaning you can hire people to do jobs, people to do tasks. You could hire marketing, you could hire accounting, you could hire sales teams. That is the second stage. That is the one most people call an entrepreneurial business. But if you really want to thrive and you really want to hit it big and you want to be the big mogul out there, you got to get to level three. And the only way to get to level three, that is the step where you build an empire. And when you're building an empire, that means you're no longer the one doing the work. If you have to show up every day and you have to deal with collections, or you have to deal with bringing in new revenue, you don't have an empire, you got a really good job and an entrepreneurial business. But at level three, you are the Warren Buffett's out there that he talks about, all he does is he goes to work and he sets things up. He doesn't actually do the work in any of his companies. He invests in companies, he puts money to work and people do it for him. So the point of the story is what you got to figure out sooner rather than later is, how are you going to trade your money for your time? You can't buy more time, but you get more employees. So figure out the fastest path to building a team. Let them do their jobs, motivate them, coach them and encourage them and you'll certainly get to level two. And if you're great you'll get to level three. I wish you all the best of luck.
