If you want to delegate successfully, here’s the truth: only two things actually matter…
Everybody loves to preach about SOPs like they’re the holy grail of delegation.
And sure, SOPs are important.
But guess what? Even the best SOPs in the world can’t save you if no one’s actually following them…
That’s the missing piece most online founders overlook.
And it’s why they end up trapped in a constant cycle of firefighting and hand-holding.
So, what’s the secret sauce?
Accountability.
That’s right. A system for knowing—without micromanaging—whether things are actually getting done.
SOPs don’t work unless you have a way to close the loop and make sure they’re executed.
How do you create accountability?
With this simple 4-question process for you to do just that…
1. What – What’s the name of the process?
2. Who – Who is responsible for getting it done?
3. When – How often should it be done?
4. Done – What does “done” look like?
This is how you define success for your team.
When everyone knows exactly what “done” means, they can submit work with clarity—and you can sleep at night knowing it’s handled.
Want to take it a step further?
Automate it.
Imagine a system that automatically notifies you (or your team leads) when tasks don’t get done—no awkward “Did you do that yet?” emails needed.
That’s how you escape the day-to-day grind and finally step into the CEO role in your business.
And that’s exactly what we help our clients implement.
