To scale a small business requires a specific kind of entrepreneur. An entrepreneur who wants to go from $0 to millions needs to replace themselves within the business.
If you find yourself stuck in your business, unable to get to other tasks, unable to focus on bigger picture ideas, you won’t be able to scale your business.
At some point you have to be willing to sacrifice your own pay to replace yourself, similar to the risk you took with starting a business, knowing it will pay off down the line.
