Creating leverage doesn’t begin with handing off every major responsibility in your business. It starts with changing your default response when work needs to get done. In this episode, Nick explains why business owners often take tasks back after a bad hiring or delegation experience—and how that habit keeps both the owner and the team stuck. He shares a practical way to use existing meetings as working sessions, turning real tasks into coaching opportunities while making follow-through far more likely. The goal isn’t to give up control overnight. It’s to build trust, capability, and capacity one small handoff at a time so your business can serve clients at a higher level without everything depending on you.
