Are You Working On or In the Business?

If you want to scale your business and stop feeling stuck in the daily grind, you need to start working on your business, not in it. Ask yourself—are you spending more time on operations or focusing on long-term growth?

Start by defining clear roles, both for yourself and your team. If you're handling tasks that can be outsourced or delegated, you're holding your business back. Outsource non-core tasks like bookkeeping and admin work. Focus on the 20% of high-impact tasks that drive 80% of your results.

Next, document your systems/processes so your team can run things without you micromanaging every step. Use Jobber to automate and streamline the rest. And most importantly—block off time every week to step back and think strategically. If you don't schedule time for growth and innovation, you’ll always be stuck in the day-to-day.
