But having the right people without a disciplined system does not work as the business grows.

See how a systems-over-people approach can save you time and money:

Know your numbers by heart. If you run a company, this should be as familiar to you as the back of your hand!

It takes a very strong person to admit what they're not good at.

Somebody might be great at sales, but not good at other sides of the business for example.

Here's what else I have to say about it:
