Not everyone is cut out to be a business owner. My fear is that people who start businesses may end up underpaid, overworked, and with a business that lacks value. Many business owners struggle with work-life balance, working long hours and sacrificing personal relationships. Delegation is key to success and happiness, allowing tasks to be assigned to capable individuals. Being an entrepreneur requires making hard decisions and understanding one's strengths and weaknesses, while some may find fulfillment in working for others.   Join us on June 7, 2023, for a deep-dive workshop with Shaan Puri. Whether you're a small business owner, tech entrepreneur, manager, or anyone in between, this event is for you. Discover the power of delegation for leveraging and growing your business.
