Bad: Starting a Business Around Yourself

[Rem]

Of all the business books and advice I have read over the last few months, I have learned a hard lesson that 99% of people who start businesses also learn and that is you make the mistake of making the business about yourself. In any fastlane scenario making your business dependent on your own skill is strongly not advised.

Most people ask themselves when deciding on what business to start:

"What is it I am good at?"

or

"What is it I love to do?"

Both are epic fails. This means your business can only survive with you in it. Once you get big enough you can't replace yourself. You simply have to put in more time for more money. There is no leverage.

You need to not work "in" your business, you need to work "on" your business.

Developing a working system and going to work on that system is the key. When it's time you need help and to expand, you should be able to train and hire someone to replace you in the system. If not, all customers will ask for you because they are dependent on you and not the system (your business).
