About this episode

The episode discusses why practice owners and managers struggle to ask for help and the implications of this behavior on their business.

You’re signalling to your team that they don’t need to grow. And you’re building a business that only runs when you’re in the middle of it. Todd and Sachin break down the five reasons why capable owners and Practice Managers struggle to ask for help – and what it’s actually costing them. What you'll get from this episode: The five reasons smart people default to DIY, and which one most owners never see coming Why your identity as someone who “gets things done” can become your biggest bottleneck The difference between loyal disagreement and disloyal agreement, and why it matters in your Practice How poor delegation keeps work bouncing back to you no matter how hard you try to hand it off The one question that shifts you from “how do I fix this” to finding the right person to help Todd’s two-rule…
