In this episode of Business Builders, I’m sharing a little pep talk I honestly needed for myself too. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the weeds, or like your team can’t move without you — this one’s for you. We’re talking about the shift from being the do-it-all operator to becoming the strategic CEO your business actually needs. I’ll walk you through what it means to delegate with confidence, build trust in your systems, and finally stop being the glue that’s holding everything together (in the not-so-good way).

Key topics covered:

• How to know if you might be the bottleneck in your business
• Simple mindset shifts to move from operator to true visionary leader
• Tips for delegating with trust (not guilt!) and empowering your team
• Creating repeatable systems that let you scale without cloning yourself
• The “Not Me List” homework that’ll free up your time — starting this week

If you've ever felt like you're the only one who can do things "right" — this episode will lovingly challenge that belief. Let’s grow through it together. 💪

Challenge

Make a “Not Me” list. Identify 3 tasks you’re currently doing that someone else could take over. Choose one and document or delegate it this week.
