You’ve heard it before: “Just systemise your business and you’ll get freedom.” But what if that’s only half the truth?

In this episode, Mark and Nick Creedon unpack the real reason business owners can’t step away without everything unraveling and why it’s got less to do with systems and everything to do with people.


This is real talk from real business owners who’ve walked the walk. You’ll learn how to onboard  new hires in a way that actually empowers them from day one, why most business owners fail to delegate (and what to do instead), and the surprising truth about your team’s belief in you and in themselves.


Whether you’ve got a small team or a growing empire, if you want more freedom without sacrificing results, this episode will challenge the way you lead.


Listen now and unlock the kind of freedom you started your business for in the first place.


In today's podcast, Mark and Nick explores:

  • Why empowerment has to start on day one (01:38)
  • Founders cling on because they crave being needed (03:40)
  • Why “just add systems” is unreliable advice (06:52)
  • What a bad onboarding experience actually feels like (09:55)
  • How to create a first day your new hire will never forget (11:47)
  • A first day horror story (15:15)
  • The new hire jigsaw analogy that will reframe how you see your team (18:01)
  • How to re-onboard your current team and reignite belief (20:05)
