In this episode
Who does the work, who makes the calls, and the one job the owner still keeps.
If the business can’t run for two weeks without you, you own a job, not a business. We walk through what a business looks like when the owner can actually leave, and how to get there.
What to measure
- Decisions only you make
- This is your handover list. Most owners are surprised how long it gets.
- Hours a day you’re on call
- It shows how tied down you really are, and gives you a number to beat after the handover.
- Questions while you’re away
- This is your pass or fail. Each one is a gap in the handover you still need to fix.
The steps
- 01Write down every decision you make
- 02Name an owner for each one
- 03Write the rule and hand it over
- 04Leave for two weeks
Your turn
Start the decision log today. Every time someone asks for your OK, jot it down in your phone’s notes app. Don’t fix anything yet. Just write it down for one week and read it on Friday.
