Why Delegating Isn't Working

As your freelance business grows, you hit an inevitable ceiling: there's only so much you can do yourself. But delegating effectively is harder than it sounds. How do you train team members to run with tasks independently without constant check-ins? How do you avoid becoming a bottleneck that slows everyone down? And how do you set boundaries without seeming hostile or unavailable? In this episode, Preston and Clay answer listener Peter's question about delegation, drawing on Clay's experience managing a 20+ person team generating over a million in recurring revenue. They share practical strategies for creating SOPs, setting communication boundaries, and hiring people who can actually think for themselves—so you can focus on growing your business instead of micromanaging every detail.
