Mastering the Art of Delegation to Scale

"If someone else can do it 80% as well as you, delegate it immediately."

I was working 80 hours a week and my business had plateaued. I was doing customer service, bookkeeping, and social media, alongside the actual client work.

I hired an assistant for 10 hours a week. It felt agonizing to train her and let go of control. But within a month, she was doing the tasks better than I was because she actually had the time to focus on them.

That freed me up to focus on sales. Revenue doubled the next quarter.

The Key Lesson
