If you are like most business owners, you think, I can just do it myself. I’ve worn all the hats here for years, I can just do it. Its easier for me to do it than to explain to someone how to do it. Does that sound familiar? As Entrepreneurs, we will hit a ceiling in our business if we don’t learn to delegate. Unfortunately, what many people do is wait too long to delegate, get frustrated when it doesn’t go well, and resume doing it themselves. Or even worse, we do desperation delegation, where we just throw people into the fire and hope they brought an extinguisher with them.

In today’s episode we talk about delegation in your business, the number 1 thing to freeing up your time and getting ownership of your business again. We share some things to consider along with the pitfalls to avoid when it comes to delegation.
