We can’t grow the way we need to unless we are willing to delegate specific tasks to focus on the bigger picture. There is no room for ego in business. When people are only interested in pushing their own agendas and not listening to others, they stop working as a team.  As entrepreneurs, we can deviate from the path from time to time, but to find success, we must keep pointing to our own true north.  As entrepreneurs, we must protect our time to focus on the bigger picture and achieve more success.  [13:23] “One of the biggest mistakes I made as a bootstrapper in my first business is that I was so caught up in the day-to-day that I wasn’t seeing the value of where my time was going.” How do you protect your time in your business?
