Automating your business

[Charlene Garrison]

I am strongly considering automating my business.  I understand that it is a sure way to guarantee steady income and therefore take the place of the job I now work.  I want to know if anyone has experience at doing this?  How long did it take to generate that income? For example, is it realistic to plan to wait 6 months before any of the automation steps brings me cash income?  Is getting the business automated a relatively easy thing to do?  I have not done much research, but I have only run into one negative response saying it requires a real expert and is tedious to automate a business.  Any other opinions?  Please share!
