What would happen to your business if you were completely unavailable for 10 days?

In this quick tip episode, Fiona explores the uncomfortable reality of becoming the bottleneck in your own business. She shares why founders often hold onto decisions, approvals and everyday tasks for too long, and how control, undocumented processes and even identity can keep you trapped in the doing.

You’ll learn how to identify where work is getting stuck, decide what genuinely needs your involvement and begin handing things over, one process at a time.

You'll learn:

• How to identify whether you've become the bottleneck in your own business.
• Why founders struggle to let go, even when it limits growth.
• Simple ways to document, delegate and build a business that doesn't rely on you for everything.
