Most businesses have three ceilings. The first ceiling is 300k because they could never get anyone else to do anything for them. The second ceiling is at a million and at this stage they can delegate but everyone has to report to them. And the third ceiling is 3 million because now you need drivers. You need to hire people that can move the business forward whether you're around or involved or not. It's like building a well versus looking for water every day.
