Wearing Too Many Hats & Struggling to Delegate
The Challenge: Small business owners often feel like they must do everything themselves—marketing, sales, operations, customer service, and finance. The problem? This keeps them stuck working IN their business instead of ON it.
Think on This: Lisa, a boutique e-commerce store owner, was fulfilling orders, handling customer service, managing ads, and posting on social media. She felt exhausted, and her business plateaued because she couldn’t focus on big-picture growth.
BOSS Move:
✅ Hire Before You Think You Need To – Start small. Hire a virtual assistant, freelancer, or part-time help for tasks that don’t require your expertise.
✅ Use the 80/20 Rule – Identify the 20% of activities that drive 80% of results—focus on those and delegate the rest.
✅ Trust Your Team – Perfectionism is a business killer. Your team won’t do things exactly like you, and that’s okay.
💡 Mindset Shift: Stop being the bottleneck. True business growth happens when you step into your role as a business owner, not just a business manager.
