Buy a business and free yourself from the grind.

So they say. And there is truth to that statement. But here's your periodic reminder: - Building a business is hard. - Building a business that runs without your day-to-day involvement is also hard. The principles are easy to understand: • Document and improve internal systems and processes. • Hire the right people for the right positions. • Automate and delegate where possible. But turning principles into reality is more challenging than it looks. It takes time. It effort. And it takes a a fairly high tolerance for stress. Becoming an entrepreneur is a fun ride. Yet have no illusions. It is not the easy choice. Don't listen to anyone who tells you differently.
