If you’ve built a capable team but still feel like everything flows through you, chances are—you’re the bottleneck. And that’s not a failure… it’s a signal that it’s time to evolve your leadership.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many high-performing entrepreneurs get stuck in maintenance mode, even with a talented team in place. We’ll unpack the difference between simple delegation and true ownership, and why your business can’t scale if you’re still the one holding all the decisions.

I’ll share the exact mindset and structural shifts I teach my private clients to help them stop micromanaging and start multiplying. This is how you move from overwhelmed manager to intentional builder—and how your team becomes a true extension of your vision.

Inside this episode, we cover:

🔄 Why you might be leading from dependency (and not even realize it)

📊 The 3 levels of team maturity—and how to move your team to the top

🛠 Practical steps for transferring leadership (not just tasks)

🚫 What happens when you stay the bottleneck too long—and how to break the cycle

📣 Plus: An invite to my free Masterclass “You Hired the Team – So Why Are You Still Doing It All” to help you implement all of this inside your own business

It’s time to stop building a business that depends on you—and start leading one that thrives because of you.
