Ep 144. Is Your "Business" Just a Job? Escaping the Self-Employment Trap
Erica discusses the crucial transition for small business owners from being self-employed solo operators to true business owners who delegate tasks and build systems. She emphasizes that being self-employed means the business relies entirely on the owner's labor, leading to burnout and limits on growth, typically stalling around $100,000 in revenue. She advocates for hiring staff, outsourcing functions like marketing and bookkeeping, and implementing efficient systems to create a sustainable and profitable business that can run without the owner being directly involved in the daily work. Krupin also shares personal anecdotes about the challenges of delegation, the importance of tracking key financial metrics, and strategies for managing one's time and life to support business growth.
