If you’re still doing tasks you hate – or just plain suck at – you’re not building a business, you’re babysitting one. In this episode, we dig into why so many trade business owners get stuck doing low-value tasks, and how that mindset of “I’ll just do it myself” is silently sabotaging your growth. 

You’ll learn to identify what you need to shed, how to calculate the real cost of doing everything yourself, and why delegating smart doesn’t mean hiring expensive. This one’s for anyone buried in admin, chasing invoices at night, or running to suppliers just to keep things moving. 

It’s time to stop confusing busy with productive and start focusing on what actually grows the business – your strengths. Let this be the switch-flip moment. 

In this episode you’ll learn: 
🔨 Stop doing low-value tasks and start focusing on your core strengths. 
🔨 Delegating isn’t expensive – it’s smart and frees up high-value time. 
🔨 Business owners confuse busyness with progress and stall their own growth. 
🔨 You don’t have a time problem, you have a priority problem. 
🔨 Hiring well creates leverage, not a loss of control. 
🔨 Opportunity cost is real – your time has measurable value, so use it wisely.
