Are you the bottleneck in your own business?

Meaningful decisions wait on your personal sign-off before anything moves forward.

When you're unreachable for a day, progress on active work stalls.

Your team brings you problems to solve rather than proposed solutions to approve.

You're the one who gets pulled in for exceptions, refunds, or edge cases.

The same types of issues keep landing on your desk instead of getting resolved at the source.

There's no clear owner for handling problems besides you.

Core processes exist only in your head, not written down anywhere.

New hires learn the job by shadowing you rather than following documentation.

There are workflows only you know how to run start to finish.

You personally review or approve most of your team's output before it ships.

Nothing goes out to a client without passing through you first.

If you stopped approving things for a week, work would visibly back up.
