Why the Highest-Paid Person at Your Own Company Does the Lowest-Value Work (And It's You)

The implicit hourly rate of a $1M-$10M founder, and why 60% of their week is sub-$50/hour work. You don't have a revenue problem. You have a delegation-to-machines problem.

What We'll Cover

  • The time audit breakdown
  • what 60% of your week actually costs vs what it would cost to outsource it to an agent
  • The owner trap: why smart founders end up doing $15/hour work
  • What high-value CEO time actually means in a $1M-$10M business
  • The reframe: delegation-to-machines vs delegation-to-humans.
