Manage episode 470027950 series 3386506
Most entrepreneurs struggle with delegation—but what if the real issue isn’t delegating tasks, but failing to delegate leadership? In this episode, I sit down with Richard Sargent, a seasoned innovation and strategy consultant, to dive deep into what it truly takes to build and scale a business that thrives without you.
Richard shares how he went from dismissing leadership as "fluff" to realizing it was the missing link in his company’s growth. He unpacks the hard lessons learned while selling his agency, revealing why systems—not just revenue—determine a business’s true value. We also discuss the dangers of overcomplicating your business, the power of intentional culture-building, and how personal branding can elevate your success.
Whether you're leading a small team or a fast-growing agency, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how you approach delegation, leadership, and long-term success. Tune in now to discover the game-changing strategies that will help you scale smarter!
