What does scalability mean for your business? You can scale your business in a way that allows it to self-fund. If you have an in-built capacity that is not a fixed cost but a variable cost, then the business model has a high level of optimal scalability. If so, you can extract yourself from your business. This essentially means you can do more with your time: spend it with family, traveling, playing sport. However, often the ability to extract will require a minimum level of scalability. Take a close look at your numbers and see if you are scalable.
