The Real Cost of Doing It All Yourself: Why Delegation Is a Growth Strategy

If your time is worth $300/hour and you’re doing $30/hour work, that’s not being scrappy. That’s being stuck.

Too many founders wear burnout like a badge of honor. But white-knuckling your way to $5M isn’t a strategy—it’s a recipe for stalling out.

When you do everything, you dilute your energy across everything. And the highest-leverage activities—vision, growth, relationships—get your leftovers.

The true cost of doing it all yourself?

• Missed revenue

• Delayed product launches

• Burned-out teams

• Burned-out YOU

Delegation is the growth strategy no one talks about enough.

It doesn’t just free up your calendar. It frees up your mind.

When you hand off Marketing, Admin, Accounting, Talent Acquisition, and HR to people who live and breathe that work, you get to stay in your zone of genius. You lead better. You sell better. You scale better.

At Sourced., we make delegation simple. You tell us where you’re stuck—we’ll show you what to offload first.
