The hard truth: Doing everything yourself doesn’t make you indispensable—it makes you the bottleneck. If you’ve ever muttered, “I’ll just do it myself,” this episode is your turning point.

I dive into the real reasons delegation feels risky—quality concerns, time traps, and control issues—and how ego can sneak in under the mask of “high standards.” But more importantly, we give you a way out: introducing CLEAR, a proven delegation framework that helps you let go without letting things drop.

You’ll learn how to:

• Define Clarity with concrete outcomes and escalation rules
• Link the task to your mission so others can use good judgment
• Equip your team with tools, knowledge, and decision rights
• Agree on check-ins to create safety without micromanaging
• Recognize both effort and results to cement growth

I also unpack common delegation traps, like the “boomerang effect” and redoing tasks to match your style, plus how to start small with recurring tasks and build trust over time. The result? Less firefighting, more focus—and a compound effect of impact that scales with your team.

If you’re ready to move from operator to architect and build a team that actually runs with the ball, this is your roadmap.

Numbers don’t have to run your life—or your business. When you focus on the right ones, they become clarity in the chaos. In this episode, we sit down with business strategist Maritza Davila to reframe metrics as decision-making tools, not a measure of self-worth.

We explore how to move beyond just revenue and profit to track what truly drives growth. Maritza shares how to turn a one-year vision into weekly targets, create a simple team scorecard, and choose metrics that reflect what each person can control. For retail: think foot traffic and conversion rate. For service businesses: qualified leads and lifetime value.

We also dive into healthy tracking habits that reduce anxiety—like choosing your top three focus areas, evaluating relationships practically, and knowing when to let some numbers rest. It’s all about progress, not perfection.

If this conversation brings you clarity, share it with a friend, subscribe, and leave a review with the one metric you’re ready to track.

This year’s word didn’t come in a rush of inspiration. It came in a quiet moment when I realized I was gripping the wheel so tightly, I couldn’t feel where I was being led. That shift changed everything.

In this episode, I’m sharing my word for 2026—what led me to it, how it’s shaping my decisions, and the three areas of life and business where it’s already making an impact. I’ll walk you through the mindset shifts, daily rhythms, and small-but-mighty practices that are helping me release control and lead with more peace, purpose, and power.

If you’ve been pushing hard and getting nowhere—or sensing it’s time to do things differently—you’ll want to hear this.
