delegating feels heavy when you don't have this


Reader, one of the biggest shifts you must make when you hire a team is letting go of the idea that you need to touch every single part of your business.

When you're really starting to scale, you have to be able to rely heavily on your team—not just for outsourcing random tasks here and there but also for setting up the systems they need to fully take on responsibility over their area of the business.

Your team cannot read your mind, and it can feel so heavy trying to delegate tasks when you have to start from scratch explaining how it's done.

But when you build team systems, you are taking your business out of your head, and giving your team a tangible process that says "here is exactly how I want this done" while still giving them the space to thrive in their expertise.

Team systems consist of 4 main components -

👉 Clear documented processes + SOPs [standard operating procedures] for clear delegation and task responsibilty.

👉 Centralized team hub to keep everyone accountabile and on the same page.

👉 Clear team roles for streamlined hiring and team expansion.

👉 United vision for the business for

If you're thinking of expanding your team or you're struggling with your current team set up, here are 4 questions to consider to help guide your decisions on what to do next:

💭 How is my team communicating? How can I create a one stop shop for my business and team where we can all be on the same page?

💭 What are my team’s FAQs? What process can I start to document so they can work more autonomously?

💭 What is each person on my team responsible for? How can I strategically structure my team so that each person is clear of their responsibilities?

💭 What’s my vision for the business, and how can I incorporate it more into my delegation efforts?

I hope this gets your gears turning,

Reader, ever feel like your entire business runs on back-to-back Zoom calls? I had an eye-opening conversation last week that I just had to share with you. I’m writing this from a cozy café in Barcelona (where I used to live pre-COVID – wild how time flies!!), and I was reflecting on a discovery call that sparked an important realization about a trap so many of us fall into: We accidentally make calls the cornerstone of our client experience. When you’re starting out, calls feel like the most...

Reader, when I'm setting up systems for a client, they really only use about 50% of them at first. Why? Because we're not just building systems that are going to work for your business now. We're building systems that are setting you up so you can grow with ease. I met with a client this week and she said this: "Even though I know I'm not using the systems 100%, I feel SO much better knowing that they are there for when I do need them. What I'm using makes my business run smoother and I don't...

Reader, here’s a difference between having systems and having systems that work for YOU. I see a lot of CEOs set up systems and expect their business to magically shape up… only to feel like they’ve added more chaos to their day.
