105. What happened when I stopped doing everything myself
Wednesday, 12 August, 2026
For years doing everything myself was a strength but it turned out to be the very thing capping my business and burning me out. In this episode I share the honest, still-in-progress story of what actually happened when I stopped being the person who does everything and started being the person who leads instead.In this episode:Why doing everything isn't just a habit, it's an identity, and why that makes letting go so hardThe mindset traps that keep rural business owners holding on (fear of judgment, loss of control, feeling like you're not coping)The real question that changed everything for me: is my identity so tied up in doing that I'm blocking my business from growing?Why sometimes the best thing that can happen is a deadline (hello, baby deadlines)What I actually let go of, from bookkeeping delivery to operations and adminThe "loose tight" approach: be loose on the process, tight on the outcomeWhy the business got better, not worse, when I stepped backThe truth about trust: it's not a feeling you wait for, it's something you buildWhat is the one thing you're holding onto that you don't actually need to be holding? Not the vision or the strategy, just the recurring task that drains your time and that someone else could do with the right guidance.If the thing you need to let go of first is your bookkeeping, that's exactly where we come in.EJS Business Services helps rural business owners take the books off their plate properly, with the right systems, reporting and support.We're also running a Xero webinar on Thursday 13th August 2026, perfect if your Xero isn't working the way it should or you're not sure it's set up right.
