Its true, and I believe before you can take advantage of leveraging other resources and assets, you first have to learn how to leverage your time more effectively. Most business owners spend their time on a great number of activities, some important that only they can do, some trivial that shouldn't be done at all and some that are important but that could easily be delegated. If you are one of these people, I can almost guarantee you are busy and very probably broke. You may not be destitute, but you are definitely not earning what you deserve. The people who understand leverage quickly figure out how to work less and earn more. If you are spending time on anything that doesn't directly move you toward your goals and dreams, you are not leveraging your time as effectively as you could. If you know there are important tasks you should be getting done but are not, you are not leveraging your time. By the way don't feel guilty, we all do it. Here is a simple exercise.
