Automation is awesome. But it’s not the best option if your business primarily deals with “mission critical tasks” (such as broken heart surgery).
It’s also not ideal if your business model constantly requires your unique thumbprint or toe-print. And expects you to deliver a “unique and customized solution” every time, which is the case with Cake Businesses and other similar Businesses that have a sweet tooth.
It also wouldn’t work in businesses where you are considered the “commodity’ (or a part of the commodity) either, as is the case with Musicians, Artists, Self-help Gurus, Pet therapists, Bank robbers and Hitmen.
Everything else however, can be outsourced and automated, along with many attentive aspects of the operation. That’s provided your team is 100% idiot free.
Now, despite all the automation, the competent people and all the sweet Pitbull Terriers supervising the operation, you still need to play an active role and remain alert at all times to avoid the business from being gobbled up by any competitors. And to protect it from being shaken and stirred by a fluctuation in the market. But once the “brick work” is in place, you can breathe easy for at least 22 hours a day (unless you’re a smoker in which case it would be a whole lot less than 22 hours of easy breathing a day down the line).
