There are a number of reasons why this line of thinking can hurt you and your business, and I will tackle each one on this episode.

One of the many reasons that people don’t delegate is that it will take too long to show someone else how to do what they want to be done. They feel that they don’t have the extra time to carve out to have someone else help, and as a result, they hang on doing everything themselves. Hopefully, this isn’t you. However, if it is, don’t fret because you are not alone in your thinking. There is hope, and in this episode, I will help you to move past this line of thinking so that you don’t reach bottleneck and burnout in your business.
