Profit by Design Dr. Sabrina Starling

As business owners and entrepreneurs, we have many questions running in a loop in our heads. Most of those are judger questions that limit our scope of achievement and keep us stuck. Dr. Sabrina welcomes April Stroink to the podcast, and April shares her incredible story of using one of Tap the Potential’s most popular tools, the Choice Map, to turn her worst year in business into her best year. The key to changing her outcomes was changing the questions she asked herself. Join us for this powerful conversation with April!

What would you do with 41% more time? This is the average amount of time small business owners spend on tasks that COULD be completely handled by someone else. The name of the game is delegation, and it is a key piece to your success. In today’s episode, I’ll show you how to become a master delegator and free up more of your time for higher-value tasks. We’ll cover why business owners don’t delegate, what should be delegated, and how to get your team members on board. Are you ready to leave the survival trap behind and stop capping the growth of your business?  Join us to learn more!
