The CEO Shift: From Doing All the Things to Delegating Like a Boss

Season 1 | Episode 9

Ever feel like you’re doing everything in your business—and somehow still falling behind? In this episode, we’re talking about the power of delegation and why stepping into your CEO role means letting go of the need to do it all. Jen breaks down the mindset blocks that keep us stuck, how to build your dream team (even if it starts with one person), and why delegation is more than strategy—it’s a biblical leadership move.

Whether you’re running solo or already have a team, this episode will challenge and encourage you to lead with peace, purpose, and trust.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why we struggle to delegate (and the sneaky lies we tell ourselves)
  • The cost of doing it all yourself—time, energy, and opportunity
  • How to build a team that supports your vision without burning your budget
  • 5 practical steps to start delegating like a boss
  • How delegation reflects biblical leadership and trust in action

Scripture/Spiritual Integration:

  • Moses was told “you can’t do this alone” (Exodus 18)
  • Jesus didn’t do ministry solo—He built a team and empowered others
  • Delegation is stewardship, not laziness—it’s trust in people and in God

Your Challenge:

Pick one thing to delegate this week.

Just one. Record that SOP. Ask for help. Let go—imperfectly.
