I’ve been thinking like a technician this entire time
Throughout my entire entrepreneurial journey, I’ve been obsessed with working hard and doing all the work myself, that is until now. I used to do everything myself because I didn’t want to work with anyone else, to be honest, and I thought “If you want a job done right do it yourself”. Whilst this saying is mostly true, it doesn’t matter so much.

Doing everything means constant work
Doing everything yourself means that you’re going to have to do every task yourself, even the ones that you’re not familiar with. What this means is you’re going to be working hard all of the time fumbling through things you don’t understand so well.
It doesn’t matter how well you manage your workload, if you grow then it’s going to get bigger and bigger to the point it’s unmanageable. Then you’re going to be forced into bringing new people in or stagnating.
