We’ll talk about beneficial information and tips about delegation - something that many, many business owners struggle with.

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from scaling my 6-figure business is that delegating, while not always easy, is absolutely essential. We’ll talk about the whys, hows, whats of delegating to make you feel more sane and effective in your business.
