Summary

In this episode, I break down the difference between high income skills and high income systems. A lot of people build their business off of personal skill—something they can do and sell—but that’s just one level. This is part one of a three-part series where I’ll explain how skills and systems each play a role in your success, whether you're a solopreneur, a seasoned entrepreneur, or somewhere in between. You’ll start to see where you currently operate and how you can grow from one space to the next. So let’s get into it. Show Notes: [03:23]#1 A skill pays one execution at a time or every time that the skill is delivered. [14:06]#2 Skills create value, systems create scale. [22:36]#3 Skills are for performance.
