Not an easy thing for a business owner to do.

As much as we think it should be a switch we can turn off - letting go of something we know we can do well, easily and quickly in our businesses - especially if that task brings in revenue - takes one critical piece.

Trust

Trust has to be established. If you’re lacking trust….you won’t be able to hand things off.

And establishing trust goes beyond whether we believe our team member to have the best interests of our business at heart.

There are components to trusting and letting go…

Are you caught in a never-ending cycle of day-to-day tasks, feeling like you're always putting out fires, and never making the progress you dream of in your business? You're not alone.

Many entrepreneurs and professionals find themselves trapped in the whirlwind of immediate demands, leaving little room for strategic growth. But fear not; there is a solution, and it's called future-oriented work.

In this blog post, we'll delve into the significance of focusing on future-oriented tasks and how it can transform your business.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if your team had the same level of commitment as you do to your business?

While that’s not a realistic expectation, you can cultivate a more earnest sense of commitment and energy to your mission.

I recently wrote about three aspects of creating a high-performing team:

• Ownership

• Transition Time

• Reporting

Ownership is a big one.

Ownership is referring to owning a task or an outcome.

There’s a difference between the two.

One of the toughest aspects of running your business is wearing the many hats it takes to run your company.

However, to get yourself out of the spin cycle of your days, investing in building a high-performing team can elevate not only the space you can gain in your business to focus on strategy and goals, but to elevate your company’s results.

Through my work with my clients who are successful business owners and founders, we’ve been able to elevate their impact and overall company performance by embracing three core steps in building high-level support in their businesses:

I want to share a story about a business owner who was consistently feeling behind the eight ball…Always feeling 2 steps behind each week.

She was growing but everything was chaotic and she was exhausted.

She was struggling to deliver her services to her clients and grow her business - She was engaged in most of the business development, dealt with many of the clients and was the primary contact for any customer service issue.

She was onboarding a new team member yet because she was still a small business of only six, she was still wearing many hats each day.

Then, after working together, she was able to turn things around.

How?

If there’s a common culprit that’s discussed amongst business owners and entrepreneurs - it’s this:

There’s never enough time to get it all done! OR I wear too many hats!

The theme here usually involves a very hard-working but overworked owner.

There’s a desire here to gain back some much-needed time and space.

Can you relate?

There are three foundational ways to free-up more of your time so you can go from feeling ‘overworked’ to having more ease and spaciousness in your business (doesn’t that sound nice?!).
