It’s common for business owners to take on too much. In the early stages, that makes sense—resources are tight, and wearing multiple hats is part of the grind. But as your company grows, doing everything yourself stops being a strength—and starts being a bottleneck. Delegation Isn’t a Luxury, It’s a Strategy We've worked with founders and managers who were burnt out, stretched thin, and wondering why growth had plateaued. In nearly every case, the issue wasn’t a lack of ambition—it was a lack of delegation. When leaders hold onto tasks that others could own, it slows down decision-making, drains energy, and leaves no room for strategic thinking. The Real Cost Let’s say you’re spending 5–10 hours a week on operations tasks that could be delegated. Over a year, that’s roughly 500 hours not spent on growth, leadership, or innovation. Imagine what that time could mean for your bottom line—or your wellbeing.
