Every task you keep on your plate isn’t just a distraction. It’s a liability. In this episode, we explain that holding onto operational functions as a business owner is one of the most expensive decisions you can make.

Here's the core idea: Delegation isn’t a cost. It’s a growth strategy.

If you calculate your actual hourly value by dividing your total profit by your working hours, you’ll quickly realize how much you're underpricing your time. Every hour spent on low-value tasks costs you twice:

1. The missed opportunity to work on high-leverage growth.
2. The drag it creates on momentum and strategic clarity.

We dive into a simple three-tier delegation system that every scaling entrepreneur should implement:

1. Eliminate: Cut out low-value activities that don’t move the needle.
2. Automate: Use tools and technology to handle repeatable processes.
3. Delegate: Transfer strategic tasks to team members using clear frameworks for decision-making.

This is how high-performing founders scale sustainably by engineering their time. The moment you stop being the operator and start becoming the architect of your business is the moment you unlock exponential value.

Because every minute you offload? It makes you richer, in time, money, and freedom.
