Welcome to The Level — your blueprint for building a business that grows without your fingerprints on everything.
This week’s Level Set: How to delegate like a Fortune 500 CEO — with systems, not stress.
Expert Insight of the Week:“If someone can do it 80% as well as you can, delegate it.” — Jack Welch, former CEO of GE
Jack didn’t just say this. He built an empire with this mindset. And your business needs the same standard. If you’re stuck doing $20/hour work, you’re blocking $200K/year growth. |

This Week’s Shift: From Bottleneck to Builder
Here’s how to delegate like a real CEO:
Audit Your Time → Track your work for 3–5 days. Label each task: CEO-level, Manager-level, Doer-level. → Highlight every "Doer" task. These are your delegation targets.
Use the R.D.D.D. Test → Retain what only you can do. → Delete what doesn’t matter. → Defer what’s not urgent. → Delegate everything else.
Write Your “$500/hr List” → List the high-value tasks only you can do — strategic partnerships, pricing decisions, vision, hiring leaders. → If it’s not on that list? Someone else should own it.
Systemize to Scale → Use tools like Notion, Loom, or Tango to record SOPs as you do tasks. → Don’t wait until it’s perfect — just document while doing. |
What This Looks Like in Real LifeOne of our MRR Accelerator clients was manually onboarding every new client — including writing emails, sending contracts, and chasing payments. In Week 2, we documented the process, set up automations, and handed it off to a VA. She now saves 6 hours a week — and onboarding runs smoother than ever. |
Your Next Moveâś… Choose ONE task to delegate this week.
→ Tip: Start with something you dread but someone else could do at 80% proficiency.
