Business Autonomy
Definition
The degree to which a business can operate, grow, and create value independent of its founder's constant involvement.
Detailed Explanation
Business Autonomy is achieved through the 4 BE Scale pillars: Vision (clear direction everyone understands), Organization (roles and responsibilities defined), Processes (documented and repeatable), and Pilotage (metrics-driven management).
A business with high autonomy can continue operations, serve clients, and make decisions even when the founder is absent for weeks or months.
