A fractional CFO explains why business owners need to guard their mental energy by building teams and systems instead of doing everything themselves. Your employees won't care about the business the way you do, so accept that and focus your brain on the problems only you can solve.
Focus on getting yourself more time. Find different ways that you can leverage team in systems and processes and automations to get more time, but also really, really protect your mental bandwidth. Give yourself space to think and solve big problems. And one of the big tools that's been helpful for me in that is just journaling. I think there's a reality here that nobody that's going to work for you has put in the time, the effort, the blood, the sweat and the tears and the risk into getting your business up and off the ground as you do. And so they're simply not going to be as invested in it as you. And that's okay. I mean, why should they be? It's not their company.
