If you have been putting off getting help, or you have someone on your team and still find yourself doing everything yourself, this one is for you.

Most business owners know they need help. The part nobody talks about is why handing things off still feels impossible even when you know it is the right move.

Tonya Thomas has spent 25 years helping business owners get out of their own way. She is the founder of Team Delegate, an executive assistant agency, and in this conversation she and Jennifer break down exactly how to start delegating, what trips most owners up when they first hire someone, and why the problem is rarely the tasks and almost always the mindset.
