I wanna talk about something today that could actually genuinely change the way that you lead in your business. It's not because it's a trendy business concept, but more because it actually forces you to confront one of the biggest reasons that you're probably overwhelmed. It's because you expect a hundred percent in areas in your business from your team where 80% would actually be enough.

The truth is your business doesn't need perfection. What it needs is consistency, standards and predictability, and none of that actually requires a hundred percent from anyone, including you as the owner. You probably have heard the 80/20% rule a lot in business.

A lot of times when I bring this up to owners, I have to explain to them, it isn't about lowering your expectations. It's actually about raising clarity around what actually matters. Leaders who try to control that last 20% - the part that doesn't change the outcomes - are the ones that end up overwhelmed, and with teams that struggle and feel like they're being micromanaged.
