Episode notes
Think Like An Entrepreneur Everywhere
- Always think like an entrepreneur and analyze every business you encounter for revenue per man-hour and margin.
- Spotting high revenue per man-hour quickly reveals where margin and opportunity live.
Delegate To Reclaim Selling Time
- Delegate once you cannot spend 30% of your time on selling and high-value decisions.
- Hire to free your time for marketing, sales, and growth instead of staying in the trenches.
Hire An Affordable International Admin

- Use that hire to take billing, scheduling, and customer service off your plate immediately.
