Session 12: Delegation and Trusting Others - Letting Go to Grow

Welcome back! You’ve started building a strong team. Now comes the challenge that many entrepreneurs struggle with: delegation. Handing over responsibility can feel scary, especially when your business is your “baby.” But here’s the truth: if you try to do everything yourself, you’ll hold your business back - and burn yourself out in the process.

Why Delegation Matters
Delegation isn’t about dumping tasks. It’s about empowering others to contribute their best. When you delegate wisely, you free yourself to focus on what only you can do - vision, strategy, and leadership. Without delegation, you become the bottleneck. With it, your business multiplies in capacity and creativity.

A Real-World Picture
Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, built over 400 companies - not by doing everything himself, but by hiring great people and giving them ownership. He once said, “Find people who look for the best in others and give them responsibility.” His success is proof that trusting others creates more opportunities than controlling everything ever could.

Humor Break
Trying to run every part of your business yourself is like trying to juggle flaming swords while riding a unicycle. Sure, it looks impressive for about five seconds - then disaster strikes.

Action Step for You
This week, pick one task you’re currently doing that someone else could handle 80% as well as you (or better). Delegate it. Don’t hover, don’t micromanage. Give clear instructions, set expectations, and then let go. You’ll be surprised how freeing it feels.
