There’s this persistent myth in leadership: If you want to grow your business, you have to work harder, longer, and do more yourself. I bought into it early in my career — until one moment at my kitchen table, laptop open, toddler at my feet, when everything changed.
That moment — and what I’ve learned since — is exactly what I shared on this week’s Maxwell Leadership Podcast, where I joined Mark Cole right after John Maxwell’s lesson on explosive growth.
Here’s what John says that stopped me in my tracks:
“Growth is happiness.”
But here’s the nuance most leaders miss:
Doing everything yourself is not a growth strategy.
In fact, it’s the surest way to stall out, burn out, and start resenting what you’ve built.
If you’re ready to break that cycle, this episode is for you.
We unpack:
- The 3 questions John uses to drive exponential growth
- Why time management is a myth — and what to focus on instead
- How to get your calendar to reflect your real priorities
- What to delegate (and why most people wait too long)
- Why doing what only you can do is the key to explosive growth
This is personal for me, not theory. I lived it. I burned out. I delegated. I got intentional. I grew. And now, I run a company that helps leaders do the same.
So if you’re craving more time, more peace, and more growth, you don’t have to wait.
Because your capacity isn’t the problem. Your calendar is.
