Overwhelmed In Your Business

Overwhelmed in Your Business? Start Here.

July 12, 20252 min read

If you’ve been feeling like you’re constantly running behind...

Your to-do list is never-ending

Your content is inconsistent

And the admin tasks are eating away at your creativity...

You’re not alone.

Most of the entrepreneurs I work with didn’t start their business to become a full-time operator.

They had a vision.

They had genius.

They had momentum.

But somewhere along the way, they became the manager, the assistant, the marketing team, the customer service rep… all rolled into one.

The result?

Long hours. Exhaustion. Burnout.

But your business shouldn’t depend on you working endlessly for it to survive.

It should run because it’s built on clear systems, the right support, and smart delegation.

If you’re overwhelmed, this is where to start:

1. Do a 7-day task audit.

Write down everything you do in a day from the smallest admin task to the biggest creative project. Track it for 7 days. Don’t skip weekends if you’re working them.

2. Identify your zone of genius.

Circle the tasks that only you can do. These are the ones that move the needle, light you up, and represent the highest value work in your business.

3. Look at what’s left.

Everything else is either:

  • Delegatable

  • Automatable

  • Or… deletable.

Let's stretch your CEO muscle!

Now that you have your list of tasks and you have categorized them under the categories I mentioned above, I want you to choose one task to delegate this week.

Just one.

It could be:

  • Scheduling social media posts

  • Organizing your inbox

  • Repurposing your content into carousels

  • Booking your podcast guest’s next call

Remember: Small shifts create big relief.

And if you’re ready to get consistent, organized, and supported, that's exactly what my team does.

We match you with a dedicated virtual assistant, backed by specialists AND operations management (if you want it), so you can finally focus on what only you can do.

Not sure where to begin? Start by booking a free Operations Audit with me. We'll look at what's currently on your plate, then I'll help you spot the first thing to delegate. No pressure. Just real support.
