But somewhere along the way, you may have found yourself saying “yes” to projects and clients that drain you, complicate your workflow, and make business more stressful than it needs to be.

How many of you hard-working, goal & growth-oriented Business Owners have said:

• "I'm so tired"
• "I'm so busy"
• "I can't seem to catch my breath"

I’ve been there.

In the early days of my floral and event design business, I was constantly exhausted and overwhelmed, juggling all my responsibilities. I knew that way of living wasn't sustainable.

I needed to find a better way of navigating life, so I could be happier no matter what ...

Whether you're just beginning the entrepreneurial journey as a solopreneur or already have a full Team, delegating effectively is quite possibly one of the biggest challenges for Business Owners.

Procrastination is defined as "the act of delaying or postponing something."

Sounds pretty straight-forward. For a Business Owner, choosing to delay or postpone something can happen on a daily.

So, when does it become a big enough problem that it starts to become an emotional toleration?
