Hey friend, welcome back to Business Builders! Let’s talk about something that every business owner hits at some point—becoming the bottleneck in your own business. Today, I’m walking you through exactly why that happens, how to know it’s not a flaw (just a sign that roles need clarity), and how to fix it with simple steps. 

Key topics covered:

• Why lack of role clarity—not just systems—is what’s keeping you stuck in the weeds
• How to delegate fully instead of just passing off tasks (and why your team might be confused)
• A simple framework to define the core areas of your business and assign true ownership
• What “done well” actually looks like—and why one clear sentence can change everything
• How clarity isn’t corporate or rigid—it’s what creates freedom for you and your team

Because when everyone knows what they own—and what success looks like—you finally get to lead instead of manage every little thing!

Challenge

Define 5–7 key areas of your business, assign ownership (even if it's still you!), and write one sentence that describes what success looks like in that role.
