It takes a village to raise a kid - and, as it turns out, it takes a village to grow a business (especially if you want said business to one day leave the nest - aka - function without you).

Even as sweetly as you may say it, your biz is not your baby.  And all that helicopter mommin' you've got going on isn't good for either one of you.

Today's episode covers the five stages of effective delegation designed to soften those co-dependent edges and help loosen your control freak grip - one measurable step at a time. What's more - we've got the note-taking covered! Just head on over to soulpreneur.co/delegate where you'll find a PDF guide with all this info neatly packaged up for you.

Quick overview of what we cover:

• How to hire for replication, not innovation 
• Why SOPs are the Google translate for your brain → team 
• Why anywhere you feel frustration in your biz is an indicator that you don't have a system
• Why the right person to create your SOPs must hold the expectation that you will either approve, modify, or decline their work
• How to 'trust intelligently' in order to transfer authority for certain decision-making events
• How to tell when you're actually ready to completely relinquish control (what most people want, but skip stages of delegation trying to get to)
• Why an effective growth strategy is all about making smart moves, not solo moves
• How to ready your business to be an asset worthy of sale (even if you never plan to)
