What if the reason you're overwhelmed isn't that you have too much to do, but that you're still doing too much yourself?

In this solo episode of Rich and Remote, Karla Singson Booth gets into one of the hardest parts of building a business: learning how to actually delegate.

Delegation sounds simple, but for many founders, letting go can feel uncomfortable. You may think it will be faster to do something yourself, worry that someone else won't do it properly, or struggle to explain how you want something done.

Karla breaks down why delegation is more than simply handing someone a task. She shares how to prepare work before handing it off, create clearer expectations, build SOPs, use Loom and Slack effectively, and give feedback without taking the work back.

The episode also explores the mindset behind delegation and why becoming the bottleneck in your own business can prevent you from growing.

In this episode:

• Why founders struggle to delegate
• The difference between delegating a task and dumping work on someone
• Why preparation matters before handing something off
• How to create better SOPs
• When to use Loom to explain a process
• How to communicate expectations clearly
• Why delegation requires trust
• How to give feedback without micromanaging
• Why founders sometimes take work back instead of teaching
• How to avoid becoming the bottleneck in your business
• When you should consider getting professional support
• Why delegation is ultimately about creating more capacity for yourself

If you've been telling yourself, "I'll just do it myself, it'll be faster," this episode will make you rethink that habit.
