So yes, because if I'm an owner, I'm going to do enough work on all of it because it's like, it's my baby, it's my business. But there's going to be a point where you're in a, you're not in alignment with your natural gifts, your natural strengths, your natural passions.

You do it long enough, pretty soon you're going to be like, I haven't broke the ceiling. I haven't figured it out. I'm done. I'm just going to cash in my chips and go back to a safe job or whatever it is. And many do that. And so, yes, they come to us for that.

Keep talent and how to lead talent. So a lot of people think delegation. I was guilty of this. This is why I say with a smile on my face because I was bad at it. I would just delegate and delegate I thought was just push it on their desk and they got to get it done and report back on Friday. Worst case is I never even asked them to report back on Friday. There was no accountability.

There was nothing. And so there was this abdication I think is the word that I'm looking for versus delegation. It was just like forget it and set it and forget it and don't check in on them ever again. True delegation really is elevation with that accountability where you're helping them rise to the top and become a leader. You want to be replaceable.
