You Don’t Have a Team. You Have a Daycare.

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

1. If your calendar controls your company, your company owns you.

2. Your team mirrors your standards. If they’re sloppy, distracted, or waiting… ask where they learned that.

3. Micromanaging feels like leadership, but it’s actually insecurity in action.

4. The less your business needs you daily, the more valuable it becomes long-term.

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

1. People don’t rise to the level of your expectations.
   They rise to the level of your systems.

2. Replacing yourself doesn’t mean you’re lazy.
   It means you're building something bigger than you.

3. If you’re the answer to every problem, you're also the bottleneck.

4. A real business doesn’t ask you for permission.
   It shows you results.

4 Challenges for You This Week

1. Let your team make one big decision without your input.
   Watch how they rise, or reveal what needs fixing.

2. Write down every recurring task you're still doing that someone else should own.

3. Audit your Slack, email, and text threads.
   Are you leading or babysitting?

4. Block off one full morning this week where your team runs the show without you.
   No check-ins. No safety net. Just observe what breaks — that’s where you start fixing.

Quote of the Week

“You don’t build a business. You build people. Then people build the business.” — Zig Ziglar

Your time is too valuable to spend putting out the same fires every week.

Build systems.
Train killers.
And stop calling babysitting "leadership."

Your business will thank you later.
