Delegating Strategies for Success:  

• Laura Licursi - “Delegating different areas of my business has allowed me to focus more on the big picture, like creating new programs, offerings, or services that can really move the needle.”
• Leah Hadley - “When I'm when I'm delegating responsibilities that aren’t really developing and growing and managing my clients, it opens up such a world of opportunity, business-wise.”
• Leslie McClure - “My business has grown probably threefold in the past five years, and there’s no way on earth I would have been able to do that without delegating.”
• Chiquita Jones - “My clients often delegate social media because it’s so involved to do it well - when you delegate to a specialist, they can do things much more effectively than you spending that time and energy doing it half as well.”
