Stop Being the MVP of the Wrong Game

You’re the visionary. The one who sees it before it exists.

But somehow, you’ve become the MVP of Slack replies, status checks, and late-night list-making.

Sound familiar?

Here’s the truth: high-performing leaders often stay stuck not because they lack vision but because they’re too good at everything else.

That’s not efficiency. That’s misalignment.

Here’s how to get back in your lane:

1. Identify Your $10K Tasks: Your highest contribution likely doesn’t include formatting decks or managing schedules. What are the few activities only you can do that generate the most value?

2. Build a Buffer, Not a Bottleneck: Protect your focus by creating layers of support that filter before it gets to you. A strategic delegation partner isn’t just admin—they’re your gatekeeper of impact.

3. Declare an Offload Day: Pick one day this month to sit down and answer: “What am I doing that someone else could do?” Then hand off three things that are keeping you out of your zone.

You weren’t built to do it all; you were built to lead. 

Ready to get back to the work only you can do? Let’s Talk.
