Your business is paying a "Founder Tax" of at least 25% of your total income every year.
The gap between 'what you can do' and 'what you should do' is your Bottleneck Tax.

Most founders think their business is scaling when it's actually just getting bigger.
Scaling means the business grows without you doing more. Getting bigger means you're handling more.
If you run a team of 20 to 80 people, this was built for you: https://t.co/do1CEuYhD5
Most founders hire to fill gaps, not to build the structure.
The correct question to hire for: who is needed for this part of the business to run without me?
That is a different conversation, with a different outcome.
The GROW model comes after feedback.
Goal: where do you want to be in 6 months?
Reality: where are you now, and what is in the way?
Options: what could you try?
Will: what are you committing to, and by when?
The difference between managing and developing is this model.
When did you last give feedback to a direct report that was specific enough that they knew exactly what to do next?
One clear Action. One clear Impact. One clear Direction.
Managers give feedback in generalities because specifics feel aggressive.
Wrong.
Specifics are helpful.
Delegation is buying back your highest value hours with someone else's lower cost ones.
Automation is building back your highest value hours with a machine's lower cost ones.
The bottleneck in most founder-led businesses is the founder.
Not the market. Not the team. Not the funding.
The founder who cannot stop doing, cannot start building.
The hardest skill is learning to let something be done at 80% of your standard and still call it a win.

Most leaders promote their best people and then leave them to figure it out.
No framework. No feedback training. No transition support.
6 months later, you're managing a problem where you used to have your best asset.

@Gingiris1031 the toughest is trusting yourself and your team enough to let go. the next toughest is ensuring the person you are delegating to have both the will and the skill to do the job at least half as well as you would..but thats just a 10 min conversation. letting go is the hardest.
If everything in your business still needs your approval, you don’t have a leadership problem- you have a scaling problem.

At 30 people, you lead by example. At 130 people, you lead by architecture.
If you are still critical for every decision, you aren't being helpful-you’re being an anchor.
Scaling requires a painful trade-off: trading total control for total clarity.
