You hired help to lighten your load… so why are you working harder than ever?

In this episode of Million Dollar Year, we’re unpacking the hard truth most online business owners avoid: delegation done wrong will drain you faster than doing it all yourself.

You’ll learn the three most common delegation mistakes keeping you stuck in the “Chief Babysitter” role—and the exact framework I use to build a team that owns outcomes, not just tasks.

If your “support” has become expensive stress, it’s time to make the shift.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why hiring a VA doesn’t automatically buy you time
  • The 3 fatal delegation mistakes nearly every entrepreneur makes
  • How I went from 80-hour weeks and a team of 30 to 3-day weeks and 15 weeks of vacation
  • The 4-step process to build systems that actually scale
  • Why building a team starts with YOU—and the mindset shift required to lead like a CEO

  • “The moment you become the bottleneck is the moment your business stops growing.”
  • “Hiring help without structure is just chaos in a prettier package.”
