You’ve probably said it before, even just in your head:
“I should be able to keep up with this.”
The emails. The invoicing. The quotes. The never-ending admin that stacks up between actual work.
You built this business. You’ve handled harder things. So why does it feel so frustrating now?
It’s not a lack of motivation.
It’s not that you’re lazy.
It’s that you’re doing too much, and you’re doing it alone.
The Problem Isn’t You. It’s the System.
When you’re the one doing the work, chasing the work, quoting the work, AND trying to grow the business - you’re not building something sustainable. You’re just sprinting in circles.
And here’s the truth: the longer you tell yourself you should be able to do it all, the longer you’ll stay stuck doing tasks that don’t actually need you.
You Don’t Need to Be the Whole Team
You don’t have to be the EA, the bookkeeper, the ops manager, and the marketing assistant.
If your inbox is eating hours every week, that’s a sign.
If your systems are messy but you keep pushing them off, that’s a sign.
If you’ve got things on your list from three months ago, that’s a sign.
You don’t need to do more. You need to let go of more.
Delegating Isn’t Letting Go of Control
This is where a lot of business owners get stuck. They think handing something over means losing visibility - or they’ve tried getting help before and it didn’t go well.
But when it’s done right, delegation doesn’t make things messier, it makes things lighter.
It frees up your time for:
The high-value work only you can do
Actual thinking space
More time away from your desk (without guilt)
You Don’t Need to Prove Anything
Working with a VA doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it means you’re building a smarter way to run your business - one that doesn’t rely on you being online and available 24/7.
You’re still the decision-maker. You’re just not the one formatting every doc or following up every lead.
If something’s been sitting on your list for too long, maybe it’s not yours to do anymore.
Book a chat with Brenna and let’s figure out what to hand over first.
