What if the real key to growing your business isn’t working harder—but finding the right person you can trust to help you run it?
In this episode of The Lazy Entrepreneur Podcast, I sit down with Regine, COO of my company, Smart VAs and my right-hand person for the past six years. We talk about how she went from looking for a part-time work-from-home opportunity during the pandemic to becoming the person who now leads our day-to-day operations—and how that partnership helped give me the freedom and flexibility I wanted as a business owner.
In this episode, we cover:
Why ownership and accountability matter in a right-hand person
How clear vision helps your team make better decisions
Why hiring people without giving them authority defeats the purpose
How trust between a CEO and their team is built over time
Why business owners need to stop micromanaging after they delegate
How to know when you’re ready to hire additional support
Why listening to your team can make you a stronger leader
The responsibility Regine took over that helped me step away from operations
Key takeaway:
If you want a business that gives you more freedom, you can’t remain the person responsible for everything. Get clear on your vision, find people who align with your values, give them real ownership, and allow them to lead.
