The first time I ever really delegated something important…
it blew up in my face.
The client wasn’t happy.
The delivery was off.
And the person I trusted suddenly looked like a bad decision.
So what did I do?
Exactly what most business owners do.
I took it all back.
And told myself, “Next time, I’ll just do it myself.”
Sound familiar?
That moment right there is the Delegation Hangover.
You let go once, it flops, and you swear never to touch the bottle again.
But here’s the truth I learned later —
The problem wasn’t the person. It was me.
I delegated tasks, not ownership.
I handed over instructions, not trust.
I expected accountability without giving authority.
That’s not delegation — that’s dumping.
When you delegate properly, the relief doesn’t come from crossing a task off your list.
It comes from knowing it’ll get done better than if you did it yourself.
So if you’re waking up with a delegation hangover —
don’t swear it off.
Learn how to do it right.
Because that’s how you finally start building a business that runs — and thrives — without you.
