Stop Being the Bottleneck for Every Decision in Your Business | CFC 303

You became the bottleneck without meaning to. Every decision routes through you, and the week disappears into questions other people could already answer. In this episode, Martin and Khalil take on three questions listeners sent in: what a new hire really costs, why decisions keep routing back to you, and why the owner ends up working the most hours. You'll hear why a $65,000 salary lands closer to $95,000 once overtime, benefits, and paid time off are counted. Martin and Khalil also cover how to pay a seasonal crew through February, and when outsourced HR or bookkeeping should come in-house. Hand over a task and the responsibility stays on your desk. Hand over a whole area and it finally moves.

It costs you now in time, effort, training. Once it's paid, the machine just starts to run" — Martin "You've gotta be able to delegate responsibility and not just tasks." — Khalil "You can't be their relief valve." — Martin 🔗 Resources: Running on Numbers by Martin Holland CrowdHealth: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/ Peter Lohmann: https://www.peterlohmann.com/ Quo: https://www.quo.com 🎧 Subscribe & Follow The Cashflow Contractor: YouTube:    / @cashflowpod   Newsletter: https://www.thecashflowcontractor.com...
