Are You Building a Business or Just Buying Problems?

When I started contracting, I  just want to jump in and hit the ground running.

Ive got the skill. Ive got the drive.
But there's a catch .... Growth costs more than money.

It costs:
Your time
Your sleep
Your weekends
Your peace of mind
Sometimes even your relationships

You want to bring on a new guy?
Cool. 
Are you ready to train him, lead him, and carry the pressure when he’s not producing yet?

You want to buy a new truck or tool?
Cool. 
Are you ready for the stress that comes with the financing, maintenance, or overhead that doesn't go away?

This is when I began to ask myself:

What am I willing to give up to get where I’m going?
Am I ready for the weight that comes with more responsibility?
Can I handle the pressure without breaking myself?

Where do you all stand on this ?
