    "The best business owners out there are using delegation, and they're using it very effectively.” - Khalil Benalioulhaj “It's lonely as an owner because you feel like you're the only person that cares as much as you do about the area of responsibilities that you have. And it should be that way. You are the owner, you have all of the upside. But you also have all the risk and that risk weighs on you.” - Khalil Benalioulhaj “I think there’s very little excuse for not having an owner's assistant. Once you begin to realize how much time you spend inappropriately doing things somebody else could do.” - Martin Holland
