The Importance of Letting Go to Grow

To achieve growth, it's essential to recognize that holding onto too many responsibilities limits potential. Entrepreneurs often find themselves overwhelmed by their tasks, which stunts their capacity to scale. Delegation is critical; one must offload tasks to free up time for strategic thinking and innovation. This process requires a mindset shift: view hiring not just as a way to fill roles, but as an opportunity to regain the time necessary for personal and business growth.
