Summary
Automate your small business and install systems so that you can focus on higher-level projects (delegate and automate as much as possible). Entrepreneur Joshua Latimer (AutomateJosh.com) explains how he has built a business that allows him the ultimate freedom of location and time – he recently moved his family to Costa Rica, and operates his virtual businesses remotely.
