Like many ambitious entrepreneurs, Amy Landino (author, speaker, and founder of AmyTV and Aftermarq) started her business all by herself, armed with nothing more than her grit and determination. As time went on, she took on more and more responsibility and found herself struggling to delegate.

After finally reaching a breaking point, Amy decided to hire outside help, and she hasn't looked back! She sits down with Jess Tyson to talk about the moment she realized she needed a hand, how she's learned to delegate, and what advice she has for overworked entrepreneurs.

Key Takeaways

• Ambition and grit are great qualities when starting a business, but when it comes to scaling, you need to shift your mindset from wanting to do everything to knowing what to delegate.


• Start small. If you’re nervous about working with a VA, it’s okay to delegate a little bit at a time. As you get to know your VA better, you’ll feel more comfortable handing off even more tasks.


• Understand your employees’ motivations. (Hint: It’s not always about money.) When you can give each team member what they want, you boost their commitment to the work and the brand.
