Strategy
The founder who does everything is indispensable — and indispensable is the trap. Every hour you spend on work someone else could do is an hour you're not spending on the work only you can do, and it's a ceiling on how big the business can grow and how free you can become. But "delegate more" stays abstract until you can see, in hours and in dollars, exactly what your current role is costing.
The Founder Role Designer maps every activity you actually do, with the real hours each one takes, sorted by whether you love or loathe it and whether it's genuinely founder-only or delegatable. From that, it assigns a verdict to each: protect fiercely, keep for now, get support, or hand off this month. Then it does the math most founders never do — it totals the hours sitting in "hand off this month" and multiplies them by your own hourly value, showing you what that delegatable work is costing you every week and every year.
That number is usually the wake-up call. It reframes hiring a VA or a coordinator from an expense into an obvious trade, because you can see the founder-value time you're burning. The "hand off" list becomes your priority; the "protect fiercely" list becomes your actual job description — the work that's genuinely yours, and the reason to clear everything else off your plate.
