I have seen so many businesses with incredible potential fizzle out because the business owners are making this one mistake…

Doing it all themselves.

Staying stuck in the day-to-day. Letting admin eat up their time. Becoming the bottleneck that holds their business back.

So on this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, we’re talking about the real reason your business isn’t growing — and why delegation and automation are essential to getting unstuck.

Here’s What You’ll Learn in the Episode:

  • The red flags that show up when you’re trapped in a cycle of “busy work” (and why “just getting through the week” is a major warning sign!)
  • The real reason staying busy feels so safe… but is secretly keeping you from visibility, opportunities, and freedom.
  • Four questions that you need to ask yourself in order to decide if a task should take up your energy.
  • How to realistically put together systems for delegation and automation — and which tasks deserve less of your attention.
  • Incredible stories of women business owners who created SIMPLE systems that let them reclaim hours in their week.
  • How to step into your true role as CEO of the business, and finally create more space for inspiration, creativity, and GROWTH.
  • And so, so much more…

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.
