The real problem is structural. Your business has been making promises it can only keep if you're in the room, and nobody noticed because you were always in the room. I'm showing you the five places that dependency lives: carrying work that shouldn't exist, communication roulette, work living in people's heads instead of shared spaces, missed deadlines with no feedback loop, and being the only one who knows what a good day looks like. None of these require a new hire to fix. None of them are expensive. And every single one can be started this week.
