The Reverse Delegation Trap and Strategies to Avoid ItHave you ever heard of reverse delegation? It's a common problem among leaders and team members and I want to give you three strategies to combat it.Reverse delegation is when you either intentionally or unintentionally take back a task to work on after you've already delegated it.This is not what we want to happen.As a manager, you already have so many things that you are focused on and that you are responsible for. You need your team to manage the work that you are delegating to them instead of delegating it right back to you.That's why, in my latest podcast episode I'm sharing:9 reasons reverse delegation could occur3 strategies for avoiding reverse delegationExamples of things to do or say in each situationNext Steps:Join our mentorship for 6 to 7+ figure entrepreneurs: The Elevate Effect™Book your Scale Day to solve your biggest bottlenecks and scale your business: Scale DayLet's ConnectGlean from our library of CEO ResourcesConnect with Kathryn on Instagram!Listen + Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher!

Building Your Business With the End In Mind For most of us, we started our business so we can do more of the things we love, both inside and outside of the business.  I know for me, one of the things I love is having an impact. So, when I heard the middle school needed a cheerleading coach, I jumped at the chance. A chance to help these girls with not only cheer, but mindset and leadership skills. I knew I'd be able to take on this opportunity because I built my business with the end in mind. I built it in a way that has allowed me to shorten my workday by 2 hours each day so that I can attend daily practice.  I intentionally built my business with systems and structures in place so that I can step away sometimes. So that I can spend more time with family, take care of myself, enjoy new hobbies, and give back to my community. But building a business that gives you freedom must be done intentionally, and doesn't happen when you're simply going through the motions of business.    In This Episode You'll Learn: Why you need to build your business WHILE working your ideal schedule The signs of an entrepreneur going through the motions 5 P's to show up every day like it's game day   Featured on the Show: Entrepreneur's Guide to Creating More Time Freedom Scale to Seven Mastermind   Let's Connect Glean from our library of CEO resources at kathrynbinkley.com Connect with Kathryn on Instagram!   Listen + Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher!  We'd greatly appreciate a podcast rating and review so we can reach more entrepreneurs like you!

Why You Shouldn't Rush Success I'm so excited to be back on the podcast  after a much needed break. I took some time off to spend time with family, train new team members and to get ready for all the exciting things I'm bringing you in this next season of business. As I slowed down, it became more evident to me how we sometimes rush success and the damage that can do. Sometimes we find ourselves prioritizing speed above everything else - sustainability, team well-being, and scalability. There will always be times in our business where we'll need to slow down, whether it's for personal reasons, intentional or unintentional, or to take time off to accomplish a big goal. But have you ever noticed when you take that time, you still feel like you need to hurry up? Like we need to rush to be successful? I have an unpopular opinion - If you slow down, it will actually speed up your results.   In This Episode You'll Learn: The 4 signs that you're rushing success How to slow down to speed up results How short-term decisions can slow down success   Featured on the Show: Scale to Seven® Mastermind   Let's Connect Glean from our library of CEO resources at kathrynbinkley.com Connect with Kathryn on Instagram!   Listen + Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher!  We'd greatly appreciate a podcast rating and review so we can reach more entrepreneurs like you!

When this episode airs, I'll be prepping for a week away to completely unplug, knowing my team will be able to run the business without me.

What Are You Attached To and What Do You Need To Let Go Of? I have a different type of analogy for you today, but hear me out.  As we were shopping for a leash for our new puppy (Oakley, who is the cutest thing ever), it made me think about how this leash will keep him attached to us so we can keep him safe. Which is a good thing when you're a puppy. But not a business owner. We teather ourselves to things, ideas, feelings, that keep us from growing. We say we want freedom but we end up attaching ourselves to things that make us feel safe (and ultimately keep us from getting what we really want).  Today I want you to ask yourself, “what do I need to let go of in order to scale my business?”.    In This Episode You'll Learn: How to detach from your leashes and take calculated risks The 5 things you might be attached to that are holding you back What will happen if you can't let go   Featured on the Show: If you're having trouble letting go, if your business can't keep running if you step away, I can help.

Is Your Business Healthy? As a business coach for 6 and 7-figure entrepreneurs, I've had the opportunity to diagnose whether or not a business is as healthy on the inside as it appears on the outside. And I'm here to tell you, that isn't always the case. Sometimes entrepreneurs focus on the wrong numbers or don't understand their metrics, leading them to believe their business is healthy when it's not. There are specific key performance metrics all business owners should measure, and it's not all about growth, followers, or engagement. Growth doesn't always equal success.   In This Episode You'll Learn: What metrics truly matter at the end of the day Why you need to focus on results first and then tasks Importance of revenue vs profit How to differentiate between metrics that matter and vanity metrics   Featured on the Show: Scale to Seven® Mastermind Want to learn more about my proven 7 figure systems and how to work less without sacrificing clients or revenue?

Are you willing to enjoy today at the cost of tomorrow? In high school, I was a cross country runner and little did I know it then, but the lessons I learned have served me well in life and business. I learned you can either be one of those people that sprints right out of the gate, or one who plays the long game by pacing yourself. If you're a sprinter trying to play the long game, you'll eventually wear yourself out. Pacing allows you to stay focused on the big picture and make it to the end.   In This Episode You'll Learn: The impact of short vs. long-term thinking in business Why long-term thinking is your best short-term strategy What to do if you've been trying to scale your business with a short-term mindset   Featured on the Show: Are you questioning if your business is sustainable and you're ready to begin planning for the very long-term?

Do you have 7 figure desirability? The level of your desirability to hit 7 figures will affect the level of your business growth. Let me say that again for those of you in the back. If you don't have an unwavering belief that you'll hit 7 figures in your business, you probably won't. Usually when you want something bad enough, you'll do whatever it takes to get it. When it comes to money, we sometimes have a resistance level that keeps us from fully believing we're capable or deserving. If you don't 100% believe you'll hit the 7 figure mark in your business, this podcast is for you. Listen while I reveal the 3 things you need to have in place before you can hit those magical 7 figures. It's also imperative that you surround yourself with others that have a 7 figure vision. That's why I created a group for like-minded people inside the Scale to Seven® Mastermind.

Time is not money. You've heard it a thousand times before. The more time you put in (the more work you do) the more money you earn. But is that true? In today's episode of the Scale to Seven® podcast, I'm challenging you to think about your relationship with time and money differently. I share my journey >> from punching the clock on my first job, working with my Grandma in a hosiery mill >> to creating a business where revenue isn't tied directly to how many hours I work at all.

Trading Overtime for a 4-Day Workweek Did you know that working more never actually frees up your time? How often have you felt that all you need to do is just work a little more?

Luckily, I have the best team ever and they spoke up and reminded me that isn't how we do things around here. They advised me that it was time to hire instead and I listened. Our entire company culture is centered around having more time and freedom without losing clients or revenue.
