As an entrepreneur myself, it’s easy to fall into the trap of being checked in to your business, managing the day-to-day tasks and keeping things afloat even when delegated. This makes you checked out of your role as the visionary and step into the role of an employee. 

Many small business owners confuse being busy with being effective. If you’re showing up, answering every client request, posting on social media, you're in all the apps, tools, and inboxes then revisit if you are checked in or checked out.

Staying in this mode too long can stall your growth, show lack of leadership, and contribute to missed opportunities.

Here's how to shift back into Boss Mode:

• Start small, commit to one leadership-level task daily

• Review your goals (weekly or monthly)

• Outline or delegate 1 recurring task

• Block 30 minutes to think, not do

• Look at your numbers, not just your notifications

Boss mode isn’t about doing more; it is about doing what matters most. You started your business to lead, to grow, and to create impact. Don’t be buried in to-dos. Realign with your vision, and take intentional steps back into the role only you can fill. 

Bonus Tip:

If you are struggling in your leadership role or need to learn more about specific tasks to delegate, you’re not alone.
