"Scaling beyond those 42 hours becomes nearly impossible because you're already at full capacity. I imagine that there was a point at which he was working five days a week and as he added more team members, he gets to the point where he's working 60 hours. There is no more juice to squeeze out of him. He's already giving his all and the risk... and I know this from other business owners.

Where they went down that route and didn't solve it and as a result, closed the business or significantly cut it back. Not because it's the right thing for the business, not because they need to cut their costs or anything like that, but because it's stressing them out, so they'd rather it be dead than killing them.."

Alexis Kingsbury is an award-winning entrepreneur who runs two software businesses with remote global teams, serving over 500 organizations around the world. He has helped business leaders save thousands of hours of their time each year, enabling them to focus on business growth.

Alexis Kingsbury was frustrated by his inability to scale his business and let go of certain tasks. He decided to create a software business, Airmanual, to document business processes so that he and other business owners could quickly drive growth and scale. Through his experience, he learned that investing 3 hours into documenting processes could save around 15 hours per week of a business owner's time.
