Have you fallen into the trap of being involved in every minor detail of your business? You have a great team, but you still find yourself checking content, reviewing graphics, writing small bits of copy, or managing your marketing in depth?

Trust me, I’ve been there (EVERY successful business owner has been there). But that level of micromanagement and involvement is NOT you just ‘being detail-oriented’ — it is causing a major bottleneck in your business.

In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, we have HerBusiness Member Kristy-Lee Billett of People Powered HR, a renowned expert on hiring and teams. She has years of experience helping small business owners streamline their operations and achieve remarkable growth.

Today, she’s helping us understand just how detrimental bottlenecks can be to business success and how to unclog the blockage.

  • Learn how Kristy-Lee made the decision to pivot from traditional revenue streams that were once the lifeline of her business, opting for a completely new model.
  • Understand the detrimental effects of micromanagement and learn the strategies to foster autonomy and high performance within your team, freeing you from the bottleneck of your business growth.
  • Avoid the all-too-common leadership traps that business owners fall into, and how to find the power of clear communication and the courage to delegate effectively.
  • Unlock the powerful potential that your team has to level-up your business… and how YOU can get out of their way.

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
