For me it came down to time. Time is the one thing you can never get back. You can make more money and hire more people, but you can’t create more time.
Early on I did everything myself, like most entrepreneurs. But eventually I realized the business could only grow as fast as my personal capacity. That’s when I started delegating and building a leadership team.
Hiring a COO-type role was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It allows someone to focus on operations while I focus on vision, relationships, and growth.
Agreed, hiring my supervisor was one of the best decisions. :)
