On the downside this also makes business growth a little slower and more difficult to get to the next level. Since I am not full-time working for myself yet, the business is designed to run itself.

It scary to think of my un-budgeted and no limit PPC campaigns running amok in my absence! Some portions of the business could run, most could not.

I think it was Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad/Poor Dad) who said, if you have to be at your business too often its a job not a business, which I agree with. But building auto-pilot businesses can be difficult for both technical and emotional reasons. I think a lot of people struggle with delegation/outsourcing, I know I do.

I enjoy the challenged of new situations and new things that popup unexpectedly. Sure, I know how to relax and take a vacation, but I really enjoy my work and wouldn't want to ever just leave it on autopilot for an extended period of time.
