Summary
In this episode, I dive into what it really looks like to build a business that doesn't depend on you for every single task, and the mindset shifts required to get there. I share my thoughts on hiring, delegating, and stepping fully into the CEO role, especially when it comes to valuing your time and letting go of doing everything yourself. I also talk about the guilt that can come up when your team takes on more of the day-to-day, and how to reframe that so you can lead effectively. If you've been feeling stuck in the weeds of your business or unsure how to grow to the next level, this episode will challenge you to think differently.
