It's so hard when you run a business, especially when you start a new business and you're responsible for pretty much everything, to not be involved in everything. But as you grow and as you add people to your team, you have to learn how to let go. You have to learn how to delegate. You have to learn, you know, how to be able to let other people who are really good at what they do do their thing without stepping in and undermining them and making other people feel uncomfortable because you're micromanaging and standing over their shoulder, you know, checking all their work. And if you really want to grow and you want to scale, then you want to empower your team and you want to figure out ways to make them smarter. You want to figure out ways to, you know, work on them versus kind of always being with them, trying to solve all the problems. And if you can get your team to solve their own problems, not only will it free up your time, it'll free up more of their time, and you'll be more effective as a. As a team.
