About this listen

The skills that made you a successful creative are now the biggest barriers to scaling your agency. Here's why 80% done by someone else beats 100% done by you when you're maxed out—and how to finally make the shift from creator to leader.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • Why working 60+ hours means you're running an expensive freelance operation, not a scalable agency
  • The buyback rate formula that gives you mathematical permission to delegate
  • How to reclaim 20% of your time immediately by delegating admin tasks at $20-30/hour
  • The delegation ladder: Start with executive assistance, scale to strategic leadership
  • Why "nobody can do it as good as I can" is technically true but completely irrelevant
  • The "record everything" method that makes training new team members effortless

FEATURED RESOURCE:

Time and Energy Audit Template – Identify where your time goes versus where it creates value.
