EMPOWER – How to Delegate & Stop Being the Bottleneck
Why Doing Everything Yourself is Holding You Back
Even with great systems in place, your business still needs people to execute the work. But too many entrepreneurs hold on to everything because they believe:
❌ “It’s faster if I just do it myself.”
❌ “No one else can do this as well as I can.”
❌ “I can’t afford to hire help right now.”
The result? Burnout, bottlenecks, and a business that can’t grow.
If you’re stuck handling every little task, you don’t own a business—you own a job.
The second step of The CEO Framework is learning to empower others so you can finally focus on growth, strategy, and leadership.
Step 2 of The CEO Framework: EMPOWER People to Take Over Key Tasks
Delegation isn’t about dumping work on someone else—it’s about setting up systems so tasks can be done without your constant input.
How to Start Delegating Without Losing Control
✅ Document the Process First – If you followed Step 1 (Create Systems), you already have Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in place. These clear step-by-step guides make delegation easy.
✅ Start Small – You don’t have to hire a full-time employee right away. Outsource one or two tasks to a virtual assistant (VA) or freelancer. Great first tasks to delegate:
Customer service & inbox management
Social media scheduling
Bookkeeping & invoicing
✅ Use Project Management Tools – Instead of endless emails, use tools like:
Asana or Trello – Assign and track tasks
Slack – Communicate with your team without micromanaging
By empowering others to take ownership of key tasks, you free yourself from daily operations and can finally focus on scaling your business.
