“It’s faster if I do it myself.”

“It’s faster if I just do it myself.” I’ve said it. Don't lie to me! I know you’ve probably said it too. And in the moment, you were actually probably right. But when I asked the question to this week's podcast guest, leadership and operations coach Lauren Glynn, she offered this perspective: “Short term, it’s faster to do it yourself. Long term, you will always be doing it yourself.” Oof. While you’re writing every email, building every slide deck, preparing every contract, and answering every question… what aren’t you doing? Launching the idea you keep putting off? I know this pattern all too well. In my first business, I grew a team of 20 people and still had far too much resting on my shoulders... to the point that it created real business burnout. I don't ever want you to go through that! Learning to delegate and build repeatable systems dramatically changed how I run my business. And that’s exactly what Lauren and I dig into in this week’s episode of Mindset to Market: How to Delegate Effectively and Stop Doing Everything Yourself You'll learn:
One of my favorite reminders: You don’t have to hand off the entire task to get meaningful support. Someone else can handle the groundwork while you bring the insight, creative direction, or final touches. Think about one thing you keep doing manually every week. Does it really need you for every step? Listen to the episode here → And I hope you find a good nugget or AHA moment that helps make your work load a bit lighter this week. I know I did! Deborah P.S. Lauren also shared a free Level One Leadership Diagnostic to help you get unstuck on a specific challenge in your business. You’ll find the details in the show notes. |

I don’t want you spending a year of your life feeling like the marketing and sales part of your business is too much, too messy, or just something you’re not cut out for.
