[S5 Ep49] The CEO Shift: Why Doing Everything Yourself Is Quietly Killing Your Business with Elizabeth Eiss

This week, I sat down with Elizabeth Eiss, founder of Results Resourcing, and she said something in particular that I knew I needed to share with you. That 57% of the average founder's time is spent on non-core work. Work that isn't generating revenue, isn't in their zone of genius, and that someone else could do better, faster (and with significantly more joy).That number made me look at my own week differently! And this episode will help you do the same, as you hold up the mirror long enough to see exactly what that non-core work is costing you in your business. ✨ Episode Highlights⏱️ Every hour spent on work that isn't your highest use has an opportunity cost. And Elizabeth has a calculator that shows you exactly what that number is.🪣 Core versus non-core work, and getting genuinely clear on what work only you can do🦄 Why unicorns don't exist — and why hiring someone who says they can do everything is almost always a red flag... Specialists beat generalists every single time.⚙️ Process, tools, then people — in that exact order. One of the most practical outsourcing frameworks I've heard🤖 Humans plus AI — why AI accelerates everything but still needs the right people and the right prompts behind it to actually work for your specific business.Connect with Elizabeth:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@resultsresourcingLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/elizabetheissAnd don't forget to visit our High Voltage Hub! ⚡ A library of incredible resources and tools designed specifically for female founders, including our own time audit to help you get really granular about where your time is going and how to take it back: https://go.highvoltageleadership.ca/resource-librarySupport the showThe People Side of Business is the podcast for female founders and business owners who are leading teams and growing businesses.Hosted by Lindsay White, Leadership Coach, Team Leadership Strategist, and Fractional HR Expert, this show delivers practical leadership strategies, real-world people solutions, and honest conversations about the challenges of leading a team.From employee performance issues and difficult conversations to hiring, accountability, workplace culture, and team growth, each episode is designed to help you lead, manage, and scale your team as a founder.If you're ready to become a more confident leader, make better people decisions, and build a stronger, higher-performing team, you're in the right place.Learn more at highvoltageleadership.ca, connect on Instagram @highvoltleadership, or find Lindsay White on LinkedIn.The people side of business isn't separate from growth.
