Scroll down to read my story:
Back in 2017-2018 I was running an advertising firm which I founded and I was "wearing all of the hats" as the saying goes.
I was the one responsible for taking the phone calls, replying to emails, speaking with customers, managing the bookkeeping & admin tasks PLUS I was "on the tools" and by that I mean I was physically trading my time each day providing the service that customers had paid for.
I was working 10+ hours per day, 6+ days per week.
Yes, I owned the business but it was more of a glorified job than an actual business.
I started to notice other business owners who's businesses were far bigger than mine, who were making a lot more money than me and they seemed to have a lot more free time than me.
I soon realised that I was the bottleneck in my business and that in order for me to have more freedom, more free time, a bigger business and more money, I needed to change how I was doing things.
My vision when starting that business was to create something that offered me more. More financially, more time flexibility to travel etc.
But one year in and the reality was very different. I ended up falling victim to the "self- employed trap". I was the definition of a "busy fool" -grossly overworked and underpaid)!
One Friday afternoon I was sitting at my laptop when a friend messaged me on WhatsApp to see if I could meet for coffee. At the time I was making decent money and truth be known I was in dire need of social interaction to de-stress and switch off from the business.
The reality was that I was so completely overwhelmed with work that needed to be done in my business that I couldn’t even find an hour to meet him!
I told him that I am going to be stuck working past midnight because my workload was so crazy and project deadlines were coming due!
He replied to me with a message that triggered a major light bulb moment for me & that would change the direction of my business & my life forever.
His text contained no words, just a link to Wikipedia page.

So in an effort to fix my situation, I became obsessed with art of delegation.
I spent a lot of time & money studying things like "how to systemise a business", "how to automate a business", "how to put structure to a business", "how to build a team who can run my business for me" etc.
After some time and a lot of trial and error, it all finally came together.
I started by putting structure to my business and by focusing on the basics (company organisation chart, SOPs, KPIs) and implementing systems, processes, softwares & tools to streamline & automate operations.
I then began to embrace delegation by building a team of people who each took on different responsibilities for carrying out different tasks and different roles within the business.
My first hire was an administrative assistant which freed up around 1-4 hours per day.
Then I hired someone who could provide the service to the customers so that I could "
get off the tools" and this freed up 30+ hours of my week (A REAL
GAME CHANGER).
Now with the extra free time I was able to focus on growing the business by focusing on strategies to drive in new sales and increase revenue.
It also gave me time to refine the systems we had in place and tighten up everything so that it all ran like clockwork.
I then hired someone to take over sales ( contacting leads, onboarding new customers and providing general customer support).
I continued to build my team and build systems until the point where
I was no longer needed to run the business day-to-day
.
I had made myself the lest important person in the business.
Realising howlife changingthis was for me, I assumed that other business owners might have the same problem too…
So I asked around, and I was right…they did!
I shared my FRAMEWORK with them and walked them through the process, and it worked for them too.
All of this has led me to starting “Delegation Bootcamp” where I help other business owners to escape the “self employed trap” by applying the same
FRAMEWORK & following the same process & principles that I used to automate my businesses and remove myself from having to work in it.
