Doing it yourself is sometimes the most expensive option.

Not because outsourcing is always the answer.

Sometimes the real cost of doing it yourself is what it takes you away from:

→ Delays because you keep pushing it down the list
→ Distraction from work that actually needs your attention
→ Inconsistency because there isn’t a repeatable process
→ Missed opportunities because your attention is somewhere else
→ Founder time spent on things that don’t actually require the founder

I’m not suggesting you outsource everything. Some things absolutely belong with you.

The trick is knowing which things actually require you — and which things you’re still doing simply because you’ve always done them.

That distinction can make a bigger difference than another productivity hack ever will.

What’s one thing you still do yourself even though you know you probably shouldn’t?

"Sometimes the biggest value of support isn't getting more done."

I think we sometimes look at delegation as a way to simply get more tasks off our plate.

And yes, that’s part of it.

But the right support can give you something much more valuable:

* Someone to think things through with.
* Expertise you don’t personally have.
* Fewer decisions landing on you.
* Consistent ex*****on without you having to keep checking on it.
* And the peace of mind that comes from knowing something is being handled well.

Wendy Dickinson shared an observation that really stuck with me: there’s value in having knowledgeable professionals take care of parts of the business you don’t know how to do yourself.

That’s such an important distinction.

You don’t need to become an expert in everything your business needs.

Sometimes, you just need the right person who already knows how to do it.

That’s when delegation becomes more than handing off tasks. It becomes a way to bring new capability into the business.

Good delegation doesn't just give you back time. It gives your business access to skills, knowledge, and capacity it didn't have before.

What’s one area of your business where having the right support has made a bigger difference than simply saving time?

Something has come up more than once in conversations I’ve had with business owners recently…

A lot of business owners know they need to delegate, but they’re not always sure what they can actually hand off.

And honestly, I get it.

When you’ve built the business yourself, it’s easy to think:

“It’ll be faster if I just do it.”
“They won’t do it the way I would.”
“I need to get a few things organized first.”

So the work stays with you.

Then the business grows, and suddenly the thing that once felt manageable becomes one more responsibility competing for your attention.

One thing I’ve been reminded of through these conversations is that delegation isn’t just about finding someone to do the work.

Sometimes, the bigger question is:

Have you built enough structure for someone else to do it successfully?

Clear processes.
Documented expectations.
Defined responsibilities.
Access to the right information.
A little room for someone to make decisions without coming back to you for every answer.

That’s the part that often gets overlooked.

And this is one of the things I’m enjoying most about getting out and talking with more business owners in Nevada.

These conversations are giving me a much better view of what business owners are actually experiencing—not just what we assume they’re experiencing.

There’s a lot to learn when you listen.

And sometimes, the best business insight doesn’t come from a trend report.

It comes from a conversation.

What’s something you’ve been hearing repeatedly from other business owners lately?

Have you ever caught yourself saying…

“I’ll just do it myself.”

Or…

“We’ll document it later.”

Or maybe:

“Marketing can wait until things slow down.”

I think most business owners have said some version of these at some point. I know I have.

And honestly, sometimes the workaround makes perfect sense in the moment.

You’re busy. Doing it yourself feels faster.
The process is familiar, so documenting it feels unnecessary.
A client deadline takes priority, so marketing gets pushed to next week.

The problem is when the shortcut quietly becomes the system.

That’s when “just for now” starts costing you:

→ Time because you keep doing the same work
→ Consistency because everyone handles things differently
→ Capacity because too much still depends on you
→ Growth because the business can’t move forward without your involvement

You don’t have to fix every process, system, or bottleneck tomorrow.

Sometimes the first step is simply noticing what you’ve been working around for so long that it feels normal.

So I’m curious:

What are you still working around in your business?

A process you haven’t documented?
A task you haven’t delegated?
A marketing system you keep restarting?
Or information that still lives mostly in your head?

👇 Tell me in the comments.

Every time the answer is “ask me,” your business is telling you something.

One repeated question? Normal.

The same question twice? Maybe it’s worth clarifying.

But the same question every week?

That’s not just an employee question anymore.

It may be a sign that your business is missing something:

* A documented SOP
* Clearer authority around who can make the decision
* A defined role or responsibility
* Information that isn’t easy to find or access
* A decision-making framework your team can follow

And here’s the tricky part:

When you’re the person who knows the answer, it can feel easier to just answer it.

Again.

And again.

Until “Just ask me” quietly becomes part of the process.

But if your team needs you for the same answers over and over, the problem may not be your team.

The process may be asking for your attention.

Interruptions are sometimes symptoms disguised as everyday business.

So, what’s one question you wish no one had to ask you again?

Delegation sounds simple in theory.

But for many founders, the hardest part isn’t finding someone who can do the work.

It’s letting go of the parts of the business we’ve gotten used to owning ourselves.

So, which is hardest for most founders to let go of?

* Client communication
* Quality control
* Marketing
* Decision-making

Delegation isn't always about whether someone else can do the work.

Sometimes, it’s about whether we’ve built enough structure, clarity, and trust to let them.

👉 Vote + explain your choice. I’d love to hear what makes that particular one difficult to hand off.

One of the strangest parts of growing a business is realizing that being helpful can sometimes create a dependency.

Early on, being the person with all the answers makes sense.

You’re the founder.
You built the business.
You know how everything works.

But as your team grows, that same dynamic can quietly become a bottleneck.

People start checking with you before making decisions.

Small questions interrupt your day.

Processes that seem obvious to you aren't obvious to everyone else—because they were never actually written down.

And before you know it, you're spending your time answering questions instead of doing the work only you can do.

The goal isn't to make your team stop asking questions.

It's to make sure they don't have to ask you about everything.

That means documenting the decisions, creating repeatable processes, and making information accessible outside of your head.

Because a capable team still needs a clear operating system.

Where are you still the “default answer” in your business?

I’m the new kid in the business community again. 😊

After moving from rural New Hampshire to Summerlin, Nevada, I’m getting reacquainted with what it feels like to step into a much more active and vibrant business environment.

One thing hasn’t changed, though: I’ve always believed that relationships matter. The best opportunities, collaborations, and ideas often start with a simple conversation and a genuine connection.

I’m looking forward to meeting local founders, business owners, entrepreneurs, and professional partners here in the Las Vegas area—while continuing to serve clients across the U.S. and Canada.

So, if you're part of the Las Vegas business community and we haven't met yet, say hello. 👋

There’s a good chance I’ll be showing up somewhere with a name tag soon. 😉

What have you gotten really good at working around in your business?

Sometimes the biggest warning sign isn’t that something is broken.

It’s that you’ve gotten really good at compensating for it.

Maybe you’re…

Manually doing something every week because setting up the system feels like more work.

Example: Every Monday, you recreate the same report, send the same reminders, or manually update the same spreadsheet.

Answering the same questions over and over because the process was never documented.

Example: Your team keeps asking, “Where do I find this?” or “What’s the next step?” because the answer only exists in your head.

Letting marketing disappear during busy periods.

Example: You’re booked with client work, so social media, emails, and follow-ups quietly fall to the bottom of the list.

Keeping important information in your own head.

Example: You’re the only person who knows how a client is handled, where everything lives, or exactly how a recurring task should be done.

Patching together tools that don’t really work together.

Example: You move information from one platform to another manually because your systems don’t communicate with each other.

And the tricky part?

These workarounds can start to feel normal.

You’ve found a way to make things work, so it doesn’t always feel like there’s a problem.

But every workaround takes time, attention, or energy.

And eventually, what you’ve been “managing” can become the very thing holding your business back.

What business workaround would you most like to stop dealing with?
