Letting go is exactly what helped me build my team, scale a business over 8 years, make big tough decisions — and now push the business into a place I couldn’t reach if I was still micromanaging everything.
“When you stop trying to do it all, that’s when things start working.”
Control Keeps You Small (and Broke)
Most tradie business owners resist outsourcing because they think it costs too much. But here's the truth: time is more valuable than money. When you outsource the right things, you free up your time to make more money.
One business we worked with halved their team overnight. Brutal, right? But instead of scrambling to take back everything, they used it as a reset. They didn’t grab control — they doubled down on delegation and focused on their strengths. The result? They moved forward, not backward.
“Letting go during tough times isn't weakness — it's wisdom.”
Why Delegation Feels So Damn Scary
Let’s get real: we resist delegating because it feels risky.
You’re worried someone will see the stuff you don’t know. You don’t want to look like a fraud. You don’t want to admit you’ve been winging parts of this business for years.
But here’s the kicker — hiding your blind spots only keeps you stuck.
And let me say this out loud for the ladies in the back: Delegation is not relegation. You're not handing off your power — you're leading smarter.
What Delegation Actually Looks Like
You don’t walk away. You stay in charge of the big picture, while your team handles the details.
When you delegate well:
- Your business stops depending on you for every little thing
- You can actually think strategically (instead of constantly putting out fires)
- Productivity and profitability shoot up
Let go, but don’t disappear. Lead. Train. Stay involved in the systems. That’s how you scale.
Real Results From Real Tradies
Let’s talk numbers. One of our clients — an electrician in Queensland — made two bold moves:
- Leased a commercial space
- Hired a virtual assistant
Result? More money, fewer hours worked.
Holding onto everything yourself might save a bit of cash now, but long-term? It strangles your profit, burns you out, and lowers the quality of work.
Here's the truth: you might be the best at some things… but other people are better (and faster) at a lot of things. That’s a win, not a threat.
The Mindset Shift You Need
If you think no one can do it like me, we need to have a chat.
Because that mindset will kill your business faster than a bad cashflow month. It’s not about doing everything perfectly — it’s about getting the right things done by the right people.
When you stop doing 17 things half-arsed and let others help, here’s what happens:
- Your team steps up
- Your clients get better service
- Your accountant finally stops sending passive-aggressive emails
- And you? You breathe again
Let go of the small stuff so you can lead the big stuff.
Where Are You Still Holding On?
Be honest. What are you clinging to in your business?
Here’s a story: In our early days, I held onto all the marketing. Sound familiar? It was inconsistent, rushed, and never a priority — because I was coaching clients, chasing leads, managing cashflow, and wearing 18 hats. Guess what suffered? Sales. Because no marketing = no sales = no money.
Trying to do it all doesn’t make you a boss — it keeps you broke and stressed.
Ask yourself:
- What’s slipping through the cracks?
- What’s not happening often enough?
- What’s always on your list but never gets done?
- And what’s that costing you?
