Why Your Team Isn’t Taking Ownership

Show Notes

You built your business for freedom, not to carry it all alone. So when your team steps up, you get to step back, and finally lead the way you always imagined.

This episode breaks down exactly why your team isn’t taking ownership and stepping up, and how to fix it without burnout, micromanagement, or more stress on your shoulders. We’re talking about practical strategies that give your team autonomy and give you your freedom back.

Nick and Mark unpack the 4 big blocks stopping your team from taking ownership and how to eliminate each one so your business runs without every decision running through you.

If you’ve ever felt like freedom’s slipping away the more your business grows, this episode will help you take it back. 

Your team can do more. You just need the right systems and a whole lot less micromanagement.

  • Creating a culture where smart risks are safe to take (07:36)

  • How unclear expectations keep your team stuck and turn you into the bottleneck (10:08)
