Allison Maslan says founders lose passion when they get stuck in daily operations that have nothing to do with why they started. The fix: delegate the work that isn't your genius so you can focus on what you actually love doing.

A lot of times business owners are so excited and they're really passionate when they start and they've got big ideas, but then they get so pulled into the weeds of the business that they're doing all of the things that had nothing to do with the original passion. It really is about building a team-managed company so you're able to delegate all of the things that are not your genius. You can really shift to the part of the business that you love.
