But as Danielle shares, you don’t have to get overwhelmed if you aren’t doing this now. You can just start somewhere and build up from there.

If we want to continue to grow and also buy ourselves time back, we need to learn to trust and let go of doing everything on our own.

In order to do this, we have to have trust in our team members. This doesn’t mean you have to completely let go and never check anything, however. 

Trust but verify. Doing small spot checks every now and then could be a good way to check quality of tasks and work without having to micromanage an entire person or process.
