Let's break down how to Let go
A
of the Rope first, understand that 80% perfect and done by someone else is better than 100% perfect and sitting on your desk forever. Too many perfectionists throttle their own growth. It is a massive trap. If you are still reviewing every single social media post and double checking every invoice, you are acting like an intern, not a CEO. Whether it is client fulfillment or basic admin, you have to pass the torch. If you hold on to the tasks, you kill the scale. Second, delegation is an investment in your team's confidence.
