To those who have made the leap... What are some of the things you did to make that jump --- did your focus have to change, did you mental models change, what did you do differently, what did you typically do the same of?

EDIT:

Some context: Been growing steadily, but realizing more and more 'work' is being held back by lack of time. Looking/thinking of ways to facilitate growth without me being a bottleneck. Do you continue to outsource but loose control, did you get capital to grow employees? Did you have to find a partner to take on parts of the business?


Any thoughts/insights welcomed.
