As small business owners, we absolutely have a tendency to wear all the hats. Starting out like that is often necessary, but it shouldn't be the norm.⁠

Letting go and training others, giving up on total perfection and control, are just a few ways we can be holding ourselves back as business owners. How do you handle delegating and letting go in your small business?⁠

⁠I've always been a huge advocate of do what you're good at and outsource, train, or get help for the rest.⁠

What tasks, responsibilities or roles can you outsource or delegate in your small business?

What tools or support do you need to get there?⁠

As an educator and lifelong lover of learning, I find that I like to learn how to DIY something, get a good grasp on how it functions, and then I can let go and delegate. This way, I'm informed enough to keep a high-level view on things and can jump into help if necessary. Delegating while also being informed keeps me from getting bogged down in the day-to-day tasks and responsibilities and frees me up for tasks that absolutely need my attention and expertise.
