How many times have you thought,?“It’s just easier if I do it myself”?
?
I get it.
?
Teams can feel like your biggest headache.
But they’re also your biggest opportunity.
?
Here’s the reality:
?
Most teams operate at?60% capacity or less. Not because they’re lazy.
But because?you assume they know what to do—and they don’t.
?
This week, I worked with a client who was drowning in her business.
?
Cashflow was tight.
Her team felt like a liability, not an asset.
And she was doing everything herself.
?
We made one change:
?
She pulled her marketing and sales team into a meeting.
Set clear expectations.
Asked for their ideas.
Then put them to work.
The next day, she texted me:
“My team is incredible.”
?
Within 48 hours, they were already landing new clients and building momentum.
(Momentum, by the way, is the?life blood of business.)

Here’s what you need to know:
?
Your team isn’t the problem—your?communication?is.
?
Here’s how to fix it:
?
Set crystal-clear expectations.
What needs to get done, how to do it, and exactly when it’s due.
?
Give real-time feedback.
Fix mistakes on the spot. Praise wins in public. Keep accountability alive.
?
Document everything.
Use Loom, checklists, or workflows so no one can say, “I didn’t know.”
?
Follow up relentlessly.
Accountability isn’t micromanagement—it’s leadership.
?
A mentor once told me:
?
"Without your team, your business is nothing."
?
If you’re doing everything yourself, you’re not running a business—you’re running yourself into the ground.
?
Lead better. Communicate clearer.
And give your team no room to fail.
Because when your team wins, so do you.
?
P.S.?By the way, if you’re drowning in your team’s constant questions, shoot me a DM. I’d love to share my go-to strategy for helping people think for themselves—it’s a game changer.

2 个月Love this Michael Clift . So true.. whilst you’ll never get 100% of what you would have done yourself you’ll never scale without a team to do the things you can’t do, won’t do and shouldn’t do.
