“Do I Even Have Enough to Delegate?”

This is one of the most common questions we hear from leaders on the verge of growth.

They say things like:

• “I’m not sure what I’d even hand off.”
• “I feel overwhelmed, but I can’t pinpoint what’s eating up my time.”
• “Do I really have enough to delegate that would free me up to make a difference?”

Let me give it to you straight:

If you feel the tension, there’s something to delegate.

🧠 The mental load alone—tracking follow-ups, prepping for meetings, managing inbox chaos—is taking up valuable brain space. We call this mind share, and it’s costing you more than you think.

Whether your goal is more revenue or more impact, the first step is the same:

Get clear on the highest and best use of your time and energy.

Start by asking:

• What’s the work only I can do?
• Where do I bring the most value to my team or organization?
• What would I do more of if I had 5, 10 or more extra hours each week?

(That’s not hypothetical, by the way. Some clients start with just 5-10 hours of EA support.)

Here’s a very general and short list of what could be off your plate right now:

✅ Inbox management and prioritization
✅ Calendar coordination
✅ Document formatting or slide decks
✅ Basic follow-ups and scheduling
✅ Travel research and bookings
✅ CRM updates and lead tracking
✅ Social media management
✅ Invoicing and expense tracking
✅ Project task wrangling
✅ Even personal things!!!

Here’s what we’ve learned after serving leaders since 2018:

You don’t need everything figured out to get started with delegation.
You just need to start.

If you’re holding off because you’re not sure what to give away, that’s like saying:

“I’ll only hire a trainer once I’m in shape.”

Delegation is how you get in shape. It’s how you gain back time, energy, and focus.

And that’s how you free yourself up to do what matters most—whether that’s launching a new program, doubling revenue, or having dinner with your family without checking your phone under the table.

The opportunity is real.
The impact is real.
And the support is here.
