📚 _"From Owner-Dependent to System-Driven: The Continental Airlines Case"_
✅ Recognising owner-dependency — when the owner *is* the business
✅ Building systems so the business runs without constant owner involvement
✅ Lessons from McDonald's — standardisation, replication, process-driven operations
✅ Documenting processes so people can be trained and scaled
✅ Shifting from working *in* the business to working *on* the business

🎯 *KEY TAKEAWAY*
_"A business that depends on the owner is a job. A business that runs on systems is an asset. McDonald's did not succeed because of a better burger — it succeeded because of a better system."_
