One of the most expensive decisions leaders make isn’t investing in support; it’s waiting.
On the surface, waiting can feel responsible. You see the cost of administrative support clearly, and you hesitate. You tell yourself you’ll revisit the decision once there’s more margin, more clarity, or more time. But while the financial cost is visible, the real cost of waiting often goes unnoticed, and that cost compounds quietly.
Scaling a business isn’t about effort; it’s about business growth capacity. If you’re a leader who wants to scale your business but nothing seems to be working in your favor, it may be time to make a change.
Operating a business can be overwhelming. There are countless things that need to happen every day to keep things moving smoothly. Because of this, it’s tempting to have your hand in everything, but doing so isn’t working to your benefit. In fact, it often limits your ability to grow. There are a few important shifts that can help you move toward scaling a successful company without burning out.
There’s a moment in every growing business when things start to feel heavier than they should. Not because the work is hard, but because everything depends on you — decisions, answers, fixes, and context.
Over the years, I’ve seen one pattern show up again and again in businesses that feel stuck or strained: the work lives in people’s heads instead of in the business. That’s where documentation quietly becomes a leadership issue, not just an operational one.
Delegation is one of the most powerful accelerators of business growth. It frees up capacity, reduces overwhelm, and allows leaders to operate at a higher level.
But here’s the truth many people don’t talk about: delegation fails far more often than it succeeds — and it’s usually not because the assistant wasn’t capable.
More often than not, delegation fails because the leader wasn’t set up for it to work.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness — the kind that gives leaders the clarity and readiness to delegate well. Before work is handed off, there are a few foundational elements that need to be in place.
If you’re considering working with a virtual executive assistant, you may have realized that there are many options, which can be overwhelming. You can work with an individual virtual assistant or an agency that provides virtual assistants. So, you may be wondering, should I work with a virtual assistant or with an agency? Below are some things to consider when making your decision.
When it comes to delegating, clear communication is key. It’s important that you make sure that you provide clear directions when assigning a task or project in order to receive the outcome that you desire. Here are three things that you can do to ensure that you provide clear directions to achieve successful delegation.
There are numerous ways in which we can communicate online. There’s instant messaging, email, project management platforms, and more. However, using too many tools to communicate can become disruptive and time-consuming for you and your remote team. Here are the pitfalls of using too many tools.
It’s important to know why something is being done in your business. Any strategy, project, or task needs a reason as to why time should be devoted to doing it; this also needs to apply to bringing on a team member and delegating.
There’s something floating out there in the business world that can sound like a good idea, but if you stop to think about it, it may not be such a great idea afterall.
Have you ever thought about what you’re paying yourself to work for yourself? Sounds crazy, right? But, you do cost yourself money. As a business owner, your time is of value. Do you know what your time is worth? Do you know your hourly rate? If you don’t know the answer to these questions, it’s important that you find the answers.
