Thought you were bad at delegating? You're probably just bad at setting people up to succeed. In this episode, Linda breaks down why your team keeps coming back with questions and exactly how to fix it.

What You'll Learn:

00:00 The Hook: Why delegation feels like it's failing (hint: it's not about trust)

00:58 Reality Check: The story of founder Kate, whose capable team couldn't stop asking questions

02:06 The Shift: Delegation isn't about handing off tasks. It's about setting people up to win.

03:16 The Move: Three questions that change everything before you delegate:

1. What does success look like?
2. What can they decide without you?
3. How do we check in?

05:54 The Wrap: If delegation feels like micromanagement at first, you're doing it right.

Key Takeaway: Five minutes of clarity upfront saves hours of back-and-forth later.

You're building an impact-driven business that matters. But you're drowning in decisions, stuck in the weeds, and thinking: this is harder than it needs to be.

You're right. It is hard. But it doesn't have to be this hard.

This Is Harder than I Want It to Be is your 5-8 minute weekly reset. One problem reframed. One action to take. One change that creates space.

Hosted by Linda van Egmond, a 20-year veteran of working with impact founders and B-corp startup operator, this show tackles the real challenges of scaling without burning out.

What you'll get:

1. Delegation frameworks that actually work
2. How to build teams that don't need you for everything
3. Systems and processes that work with you, not against you
4. Space to focus on what matters most

The promise: You can have impact without burnout. You can build something that scales without losing your soul. You can own a business that you don't run.

Linda's going to show you how.
