There are ways to make your business run more efficiently but the term 'autopilot' is a misnomer. For example a captain flies a plane in 'autopilot'. Now you definitely realize that no passenger would want to be on that plane without a pilot! What it really means is when the plane has safely reached cruising altitude the pilot presses a button and a computer maintains the currents setting that were preset by the pilot. So without the pilot, the plane would definitely crash.
Likewise for your SFI business, YOU set the pace and when you are comfortable with the results there are ways to remove yourself from the equation. The most common is outsourcing. This means you pay someone else to do it for you and you don't have to do anything!
Moreover, you may employ the use of technology that takes care of all of your marketing needs, and yet another to send out weekly messages to your team. But with all of this, you have to set this technology up to run the way you would like for it. Without YOU, your business is just not going to happen magically or by some software that you can set and walk completely away from and only count your profits!
