## Resource

You didn’t start a business to spend your weekends buried in spreadsheets. If you’re scaling past $1M, every hour spent playing amateur bookkeeper is an hour stolen from your growth strategy. Your focus is your most valuable asset; stop misallocating it. The Challenge: Track your "finance hours" this week. If it’s over five, it’s time to hire a fractional CFO and start acting like a CEO again. Also, check out www.thecapitalista.com It might be what you just need! Send us Fan Mail
