Should I EXPAND & Buy Equipment or am I Nuts? Nervous Father of 2

What happens here

This step delivers the most crucial instruction: the business owner must personally learn how to operate any new equipment and understand every detail of the new services being offered. The speaker warns against the mistake of solely relying on a hired experienced operator, emphasizing that if that operator leaves, the entire new service line of the business could shut down. The owner must be capable of stepping in as a 'backup' operator to ensure business continuity. This involves getting 'hands dirty' and learning 'the hard way' to gain intimate knowledge of the operations.

Goal: Become proficient in operating new equipment and understanding all operational aspects to ensure business resilience and knowledge.

mistake do not rely on an operator to come in and teach you the ropes with the machine learn the hard way just grab that machine and go out and start doing jobs if you rely on an operator to run that piece of equipment for you what happens if that guy takes off what happens is your business shut down now the the behind the scenes story is Dominic is nervous as a longtail cat in a room full of rocking chairs because he has two small girls and a family to support so there's more than just this guy going out here and trying to do this on his own that's why it's so important for you Dominic to understand every component of okay the point I was making was if you're not willing to get your hands dirty then you need to do something else or go work for somebody but when you're a business owner an entrepreneur and you're getting started you want to grow and expand your business it's a key foundational principle that every single thing that happens in your company you have to either know what that means and how it affects your bottom line or you are intimately aware of how to perform that action in case while you're in that growth phase you don't have a backup you don't have somebody else that can step in and take over those roles you can do it you can be that backup that's not where you want to stay though don't mistake that for taking over that job because remember this one important Point anything that you can pay somebody to do is what you're paying yourself so if you can pay somebody $10 an hour to go out and dig dirt in a trench for you and you decide that's what you're going
