Quotable Moments:

“Delegation buys you time—if it’s done strategically.”
“Most entrepreneurs look calm on the outside but are paddling frantically underneath.”
“Start with repetitive tasks; that’s where trust and efficiency are built.”
“You can’t expect someone to take over your business in 30 days—focus on 2–3 priorities.”
“Nobody will do it exactly like you, but ask yourself: what’s my acceptable percentage?”

Action Steps:

Start tracking your daily tasks for a week to identify patterns and repetitive work.
Choose two to three tasks to delegate within the first 30 days to build momentum.
Implement a structured onboarding process with clear boundaries and expectations.
Use tools like Loom or Scribe to record your processes and train assistants effectively.
Create templates and systems for inbox management to streamline communication.
Define your acceptable threshold of trust (e.g., 90–95%) to overcome fear of delegation.
