The Systems That Give You More Time and Freedom

Most entrepreneurs start their businesses for freedom—freedom of time, financial independence, and the ability to work on what they love. But as your business grows, so does the workload. Instead of gaining time, many business owners find themselves buried in tasks, stuck managing operations instead of leading growth.

In a recent episode of the Scale Smart, Grow Fast Podcast, we sat down with Stephanie Cabral, a former attorney turned real estate entrepreneur, to discuss how she scaled her business efficiently without sacrificing quality or control.

The Mindset Shift: Treating Your Business Like a Business

One of the biggest mindset shifts Stephanie made was realizing that real estate investing—or any business—is not a side hustle, it’s a company. If you want to scale, you can’t run your operations manually forever.

✅ She stopped managing everything herself and implemented automation and delegation.
✅ She focused on systems that could scale, not just processes that worked in the moment.
✅ She prioritized high-impact work instead of getting stuck in daily tasks.

How Systems and Delegation Transformed Her Business

Stephanie knew she couldn’t scale while handling every invoice, repair call, and tenant request. So she built a structured system for efficiency by:

🔹 Using automation tools to manage communication, invoicing, and workflows.
🔹 Hiring a dedicated assistant to take over administrative tasks, freeing her time for strategy.
🔹 Implementing SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) to ensure consistency and eliminate micromanagement.

This shift allowed her to focus on growing her portfolio, securing better deals, and expanding her impact—all while working less.

How You Can Apply This to Your Business

No matter your industry, these principles apply. If you’re feeling stuck in daily operations, ask yourself these questions:

🔸 What tasks do I repeat every day that could be automated?
🔸 What low-value tasks am I holding onto that someone else could handle?
🔸 Where am I spending time that isn’t directly growing my revenue?

The key to scaling smart is removing yourself as the bottleneck. With the right systems and support, you can grow your business without working 24/7.

How Are Smart Investors Scaling Without Adding More Work?

Growing a business—especially in real estate—often comes with an unexpected challenge: the more successful you become, the more work you have on your plate. Managing properties, handling bookkeeping, coordinating maintenance, and keeping investors engaged can quickly consume your time. But what if scaling didn’t have to mean working more hours?

In a recent episode of the Property Profits Real Estate Podcast, host Dave Dubeau sat down with real estate investor and digital nomad Harley Green to discuss how he built a thriving real estate portfolio while traveling the world. The secret? Leveraging remote teams and systems to run his business efficiently without being trapped in daily operations.

The Hidden Bottleneck That Slows Down Growth

Many real estate investors hit a wall when they try to scale. They assume that taking on more deals means handling more tasks themselves. Instead of focusing on revenue-generating activities—like acquiring properties or building investor relationships—they get stuck in:

✔ Tenant & Guest Management – Handling bookings, maintenance, and guest communications.
✔ Bookkeeping & Financial Tracking – Manually tracking expenses, invoices, and rental income.
✔ Marketing & Investor Outreach – Posting listings, managing social media, and creating reports.

For Harley, this realization came early when he was juggling a full-time job, a growing portfolio, and family life. Instead of working 80-hour weeks, he built a remote team to take on the daily tasks, freeing him to focus on high-value decisions.

How Systems & Remote Support Changed Everything

By implementing a strategic approach to delegation, Harley now has a fully optimized real estate business that runs efficiently while he focuses on growth. Here’s how he did it:

🔹 Clear Role Assignments – Every task, from tenant inquiries to bookkeeping, is assigned to a team member with the right expertise.
🔹 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) – Documented processes ensure consistency and efficiency, even as the team grows.
🔹 Technology & Automation – Tools like Monday.com, Google Drive, and ChatGPT streamline workflows and eliminate unnecessary manual work.
🔹 A Strong Team Culture – Virtual team meetups and ongoing training ensure engagement and long-term retention.

What This Means for Business Owners & Investors

Harley’s approach isn’t just for real estate—it applies to any entrepreneur who wants to scale without burnout. Whether you run a real estate firm, a service-based business, or a consulting agency, delegating non-revenue-generating tasks allows you to focus on strategy and business growth.

✅ More time for deal-making and client relationships
✅ Improved efficiency with streamlined operations
✅ Less stress and better work-life balance

If you’re ready to stop working in your business and start working on it, take a page from Harley’s playbook. Build the right systems, delegate effectively, and focus on growth—not the daily grind.
