Growing from $3 million to $5-10 million requires delegating work instead of doing it yourself, but real delegation means giving people the right tools, clear success criteria, and tracking systems. Handing off work without support is abdication, not delegation.
If you're going to grow, if you're a $3 million company, you want to get to $5, you want to get to $10, bottom line, you've got to get good at getting things done through other people. You've got to get good at finding ways to buy the time that you need to do the things that you're supposed to do and be able to delegate. Now, that's a whole— how do you delegate? It's not just here, you do it. So I think maybe we go into there. There's a big difference. A lot of times, this is what I did, a dominant. Okay, well, you got to delegate more. Oh, Okay, here, you do this, you do this, you do that. There's a big difference between delegating and abdicating. If you abdicate, you say, here, you do this. But did you give them the tools to get it done? Do they have the personality traits? Did you hire the right way? You know, do you have a tracking and measuring system to make sure that it is done in an acceptable manner? Do they know what success looks like?
