Many entrepreneurs find themselves overwhelmed with tasks that could be delegated, caught in an endless loop of in-business activities. What does it take to break free from being the bottleneck of your company? How can you transition from a one-person show to an organized, expanding entrepreneurial venture?
Having accidentally stumbled into entrepreneurship, David Boyle realized he had to reduce his company’s reliance on him to scale further. As you gradually reduce your workload, David says to audit yourself to recognize where you spend your efforts. This will allow you to identify inefficiencies and tasks that can be systemized or delegated. When documenting and implementing systems, involve your team in the refinement process to enhance productivity and free yourself from the day-to-day.

Quotable Moments:
- “The secret sauce for any project is hyper-organization and grit.”
- “The difference between being a consultant and owning a consulting business is the ability to extract yourself and still have it run efficiently.”
- “The best ROI is that it’s just a risk-averse strategy; you can’t run a business with everything going through one person’s brain.”
- “It’s so easy to put SOPs on the back burner because it’s not on fire, but having them in place is like receiving a gift every week.”
- “I love getting my hands onto a project… but it’s about empowering people to make their own decisions and tackle roadblocks.”
Action Steps:
- Conduct a one-week time audit on yourself to identify where you’re spending your efforts: This self-audit helps identify inefficiencies and tasks that can be systematized or delegated, empowering entrepreneurs to focus on growth.
- Implement the full context delegation style to educate your team on the why behind their tasks: Understanding the company’s goals fosters better decision-making and autonomy amongst team members, which is essential for scaling a business.
- Systematically document business processes to save time and reduce reliance on the founder: Documented processes democratize knowledge within the organization, ensuring continuity and allowing the founder to step back without risking operations.
- Involve team members in refining SOPs to ensure they are practical and efficient: Collaborating on process refinement ensures SOPs are up-to-date, relevant, and enhance productivity by keeping the team’s on-the-ground experiences in mind.
- Prioritize hiring based on values alignment and the ability to contribute to an evolving process-oriented culture: Hiring team members who share the company’s values and are adaptable to evolving processes fosters a resilient and effective workforce.
