Episode 1872 - Guilty Progress

Leveraging Delegation—Not Just Hard Work

December 16, 20252 min read

Leveraging Delegation—Not Just Hard Work

Here’s what 20 years of building teams has taught me: progress that happens while you’re away is the strongest kind there is. Your systems, your processes, and your people are doing the work so you don’t always have to. That’s not laziness—it’s leverage.

Think about it: If you’re always “grafting every hour God sends”, you might feel productive—but you’re capping your own potential. When your infrastructure can keep pushing forward without you, you’ve levelled-up as a leader.

And don’t forget about AI—it’s the next dimension of this journey.

Why You Should Celebrate—Not Feel Guilty

It’s normal to feel guilty when your business moves forward without you. I’ve wrestled with it. But if you’ve set things up right, guilt is misplaced—you should be roaringly proud instead!

Here’s what to focus on:

  • Build more replicable systems.

  • Train and trust your team to own outcomes.

  • Develop processes and data flows that run themselves.

  • Ask: How can I replicate this autonomy elsewhere?

Leverage is not about working harder—it's about engineering growth. And the more progress is made without you, the closer you get to exponential results.

MY MISSION: Running for a Purpose

Every day I lace up for the Runpreneur Challenge, I’m not just running—I’m vlogging my journey to raise £1,000,000 for children’s causes, pounding out 40,075km (the distance of a lap around the world—barefoot style!). Your support, every view, every share drives us closer to saving more lives.

So if you’re building your own mission, a team, or a dream, remember: progress in your absence is the ultimate proof of vision.
