With all this talk of student debt, it begs the question:

Is the school of life sufficient?

Test your knowledge, then feel free to leave your opinion in the comments below.

Around 12% of business owners only have their high school diploma.

I see 3 consistent obstacles for businesses under 10 years old. (BTW - I've been stuck in all three at one point or another)

Hire more people.
Build more processes.
Work more hours.

None of them work — not because they're bad ideas, but because they're solving the wrong problem first.

If your business is dependent on you, adding people just adds complexity. Building processes on top of a broken foundation just makes the foundation harder to see. And working more hours is how you end up burning out while the problem stays exactly the same.

The real fix starts with knowing which area of your business is the highest-leverage first move. That's different for every owner.

I've been working on this assessment to help create awareness for business owners. It also offers plans on how to address your connection to these 3. (not some generic advice. based on your assessment)

Feeling like there's not enough of you to go around?

This is a common problem for entrepreneurs.

So many phone calls, meetings, emails, lunches, and more – there's hardly any time to get any real work done!

And when you finally do get crackin’ away – buzz buzz – another incoming message.

It’s all too much.

So try to make yourself less available.

Schedule yourself time to respond to emails, messages, voicemails, and whatever other communications are bogging you down.

Leave this to once or twice a day.

You’ll quickly see how much more you can get done, and that overwhelming feeling will disappear in no time :)

Here's a quick test.

Think about the last time you took a real vacation. Not a "working vacation," not checking email from the beach, but actually off.

If you can't remember one, your business has a problem that no amount of hustle will fix.

Most owners I talk to have accidentally made themselves impossible to replace. Not because they're bad at business — because they're great at it. They became the answer to every question, the approver of every decision, the person the whole thing runs through.

That's not a business. That's a job you can't quit.

The Quietly Better Business Assessment takes 5 minutes and shows you exactly where your business is most dependent on you — and where to start fixing it.

It's free. No sales pitch. A 4Sight coach reviews your answers personally.

The hardest truth to swallow as a successful business owner? Your success is exactly what trapped you.

When every decision, quality check, and client crisis requires your input, you aren't running a business—the business is running you.

The real cost isn't your time. It's the lost potential. It's the next level of growth you can't reach because your hands are full just holding the current level together.

Find out how owner-dependent your business really is. Take the free 4Sight Business Coaching assessment and discover how to simplify your operations until your business behaves.

I have written a bunch of stuff over the past 4 or 5 years. Some pretty good, some not so good.

I am a sarcastic guy. Quick wit...sarcasm, is my love language. One of the things I've written is riddled with my love. Language. Paired with one of my favorite topics to discuss...being a good leader.

You Might Be A Bad Boss was so fun to write. Every time I post it again, I get a ton of downloads. Which tells me that others value the way I shared valuable tips. Or...they just wanted to get a laugh.

Either way, mission accomplished.

I have gotten a few calls to update the guide. Folks have shared some of their bad boss stories. So much to add. If you've got a leadership or management tip, let me know. I'll include it in my revision.

Some start their business for eventual recognition, for the lifestyle, for the freedom, or, of course – for the money.

We want to ask you:

Why did you start your own business?

Over 70% of entrepreneurs work more than 40 hours per week.

Can you relate?

This is one of the toughest parts about being self employed.

So many things to do, and so little time to do them…

Have you ever considered that you may want to improve your time management skills?

Here’s a little tip:

Give up multitasking entirely.

Working on two things simultaneously is a great way to finish neither.

Instead, make a list of priorities and focus on completing those one by one.

Turn off your phone while you're working and respond to those emails at the end of the day.

You’ll be amazed at how your productivity skyrockets :)
