I was thinking through about this topic as I was working outside. I start to think that this is so true. It may not be visible when you have just started because you would spend more time to work on your business. But as you grow your business, you should be spending more and more money instead of your time.  This will bring in even more and more time on your side to focus on buying time with money, rather than buying money with time.  I think it can be really tedious to work on a business which takes up almost 24 hours of your time every day…

Are you spending time to make more money today?
I think that this is almost a must-do task for every startup business with almost-zero capital. This is when you have not much money, and you have all the time to work on your own business. However if your business is growing, you will start to wish that your employees are as capable as you. This is when you have spent too much time working on the business yourself and not spending enough time and money building up your very own assets.

While it may be true to leave your employees to be independent, it is still an uncertainty when it comes to building your own business. Many MNC companies are very willing to spend money on trainings, activities and even a cost center just to cater to the employees making money for them.

Are you spending money to make more time today?
As you spend more and more money on your business, you will start to see yourself with more and more time. That doesn’t really mean you will have more time for more business yet. It only means that you are ready to build up your cost center. Paying some employees to do full time on some activities for your other employees.

Making more money will simply make more time to work out more expenses to be poured back at employees to build a system. A system where everybody is dispensable. A good business depends on system, and not on human beings. If you are depending a lot on yourself or your employees only because of their individual capability, that’s to say that you are in deep trouble because the limit is up to the human being himself.

Yes You May Be A Superman
Yes, a human being may have only used only a few percent of their brain, and they can actually push themselves further. But a business is supposed to make money, and not to create a stressful environment where every single staff is being pushed (willingly or unwillingly) to the point where they can become even better. But in this world, there’s no one appointment that never ends. In the end, the business still must move on while the employees may be working somewhere else again. And in the end, you are still the most capable person in your own business.

It’s all about system. It’s all about keeping the things neat as it is when the business is reaching to a stage of finding a base to stabilize on…
