If your growing your business, you can add the monumental task of creating and implementing efficient systems that allow you to bring on a few employees, earn more new homes jobs and constantly preform as projected.
Once established as a volume builder, the benefits are obvious but getting the systems you need up and running can be very expensive a take years. Meanwhile your spread thin trying to create and fund putting these systems in place and juggle your existing business at the same time.
