Feeling like you're drowning in your own business success? If you're trying to do everything yourself, you're not just burning out - you're actually holding your business back from real growth.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the biggest myths that keep business owners stuck in "do-it-all" mode and sharing the exact framework I use to help clients go from overwhelmed solopreneurs to confident CEOs leading thriving teams.
What we cover:
- Why being "irreplaceable" in your business is actually a trap
- The 5 biggest fears that stop business owners from delegating (and how to overcome each one)
- My personal story of learning to delegate as a young supervisor
- Why "they won't do it as well as me" is usually about control, not quality
- The 5 principles of effective delegation that actually work
- How one client went from doing everything to enjoying library time with her kids while her team handled a major project
The delegation myths we're busting:
- "There are no good people out there" (there are)
- "I can't afford help" (can you afford NOT to get help?)
- "I don't know how to manage people" (it's a learnable skill)
This isn't about giving up control - it's about gaining the freedom to focus on what only you can do while building a business that can thrive without you being tied to it 24/7.
