In this episode Adam and Jess discuss:

• The downside of hustle culture
• Building systems and using teams
• Scaling a service-based business
• Operating in your zone of genius

Key Takeaways: 

• Real estate professionals often get caught up in the hustle culture, not realizing that working long hours and giving up everything for money, without knowing the limits of their physical and emotional health, can be disastrous.
• There's probably 99% of your business that can be done by someone else better than you, and you shouldn’t feel uncomfortable about it. When you break your business down systematically into different parts and roles, and you find people who are better at these things than you are, then you will be able to come up with something that is better as a whole than it would be on your own.
• The key to scaling your business is breaking it down into smaller segments and chunks and eliminating automation or outsourcing of each segment one by one - when it's done, you feel a tremendous amount of pressure and you can focus on what's going to generate the highest value and impact for the business.
• When everything is in your head and everything is manual, it can be very difficult to maintain consistency in terms of quality. Having a team means that while you cannot do everything, there are others who have much greater expertise in some of these areas.

“Just because something works when you're at 100,000 doesn't mean that it's still going to work and still going to be effective at a million or 2 million or 5 million… and so a lot of what we focus on in the book is really creating systems and creating frameworks, and having you do the work on the front end that is going to work for you no matter how big you get” – Jess Lenouvel
