What happens here

Following the mastery of new operations, the owner must deeply understand the financial implications of every task. The speaker uses the example of paying someone $10 an hour to dig a trench. If the owner decides to perform that task themselves, they are effectively paying themselves $10 an hour. This highlights the importance of knowing what each task costs to outsource versus perform internally, allowing for strategic decisions on delegation and the most profitable use of the owner's time as the business grows. The owner, as the 'greatest asset,' should move into higher-value roles once they have mastered and understood lower-level tasks.

Goal: Intimately understand the financial implications of every task within the business to make strategic delegation decisions.
