Welcome to the Level Up podcast.

0:02

I'm your host, Paul Alex. I

0:04

went from being a cop to

0:06

an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average

0:08

people like you and me make

0:10

money every single day. I created

0:12

this podcast to help you get

0:14

motivated and to crush your goals.

0:16

Let's win together. Remember, I have

0:18

your six. Get ready to level

0:20

up right now. What's up

0:22

everybody? Welcome back to Love Up podcast.

0:24

I'm Paul Alex and today we're gonna

0:26

hit a nerve. Most entrepreneurs have no

0:29

clue how to delegate. Yeah, I said

0:31

it. So what? You're trying to do

0:33

everything yourself, wearing every hat in the

0:36

business, and then you wonder why you're

0:38

stuck. Well, let me tell you something.

0:40

If you're doing everything, you're going nowhere.

0:42

You want to grow, you want to

0:45

scale, then you need to learn how

0:47

to let go and trust the team.

0:49

So let's get into it. First, you

0:52

got to stop being a control freak.

0:54

I've been there, all right? When I

0:56

was building my business, I thought nobody

0:59

can do the job like me. on

1:01

to every single task, every decision. You're

1:03

slowing your business down. You think

1:05

you're protecting it, but you're actually

1:08

choking it. Trust me. You, if you

1:10

don't start delegating, you'll burn out and

1:12

your business will stall. Second, a lot

1:14

of you are too cheap. Yeah, I

1:17

said it. You're too cheap to hire

1:19

and train the right people. Let me

1:21

ask you something. Make sure to check

1:23

on my YouTube channel official Paul Alex.com

1:26

for more motivational episodes. Do you see

1:28

people as an expense or as an

1:30

investment? I am investing to people because

1:32

if you're too scared to investing to

1:35

investing to your team, you're not serious

1:37

about growing anything. of soldiers, killers, over

1:39

100 employees because I knew that

1:41

I couldn't do it all myself. I

1:43

couldn't build an empire. I couldn't

1:46

build a eight-figure business without them.

1:48

Delegating isn't just about freeing up

1:50

your time. It's about multiplying your

1:52

efforts. You want to stay small?

1:54

Keep pinching pennies. You want to

1:56

scale. Start investing on people. And

1:58

here's the real talk. Okay? Delegation

2:00

without systems is a disaster. You

2:02

don't just throw tasks at people

2:05

and hope for the best. Okay?

2:07

You need systems. You need clear

2:09

expectations. And you need accountability. If

2:12

you don't have that, delegation fails.

2:14

And then you blame the team

2:16

when really it's on you. Okay?

2:18

There's no such thing as bad

2:21

employees. There's only bad leaders. Stop

2:23

being lazy. Build the damn systems.

2:25

Set your team up for success.

2:28

Bottom line, if you're not delegating,

2:30

you're not leading. You're babysitting your business

2:32

instead of building it. Trust your team,

2:34

invest in your success, and put systems

2:36

in place that allows you to scale

2:38

like a beast. Thanks for tuning into

2:42

2:44

problem guys. Learn to delegate, scale your

2:46

empire, and as always, let's level up.
