If you spend countless days and nights behind a desk instead of with your family, it may be time to make a change. Delegating tasks and establishing new roles reduces your businesses’ dependency on you. Yet this requires employing resources and seeking help from peers who have experienced similar challenges. Find out how one overburdened entrepreneur liberated himself of his responsibilities.

After missing out on his children’s growth and crucial life stages, JJ Rosen decided to hire a CEO to manage his business.

Instead, JJ sought help from his fellow EO members and leveraged EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) to restructure his business and expand its roles. EO forums allow you to consider and experiment with various strategies. By presenting a similar problem to your EO forum, you’ll learn valuable experiences and lessons to help you make an informed decision about your business.
