Quotes

“There's only X number of hours in the week. Therefore, if you're earning $1, $100 an hour, $1,000 an hour, or a million dollars an hour, it doesn't matter. Whatever it is that you're earning, if you're doing everything yourself, what you can do is earn that number of hours in the week.” - David Warlow

“If you've got your systems, they aren't so much an important part for taking the load off your shoulders. The sole operator systems are more in place for when you want to grow bigger and have not one business, but two, three, four, or five.” - David Warlow

“If it's one job that you'll never do again, then just do it. But if you're going to have to do it again, systemize and get someone else to do it.” - David Warlow
