08 Grow your business by doing less with Ashley Gartland
About this episode
As your business grows, chances are you find yourself wearing more and more hats, doing #allthethings. But I truly believe that building a business is a team sport. It takes a village. And while a lot of people talk about delegating and building a team, many dive in without acknowledging the deeper reasons behind it. We don't really discuss what a profound difference it can make in how you feel, in what you can achieve in your business, and in how much freedom you can create in your life. Today we talk about those deeper reasons and the fears that stand in your way so you can understand the mindset behind delegating and the profound growth you can experience because of it.
