The Level #86

< 2 min

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:

1. 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.
   
   

2. 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.
   
   

3. 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.
   
   

4. 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 Life

One 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.
