Author and entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has built his career around simplifying complex business concepts for other entrepreneurs, so in this episode he rounds up the best practices to help free us up so that we can focus on designing our business. Oftentimes, businesses are likened to babies that entrepreneurs give life to and nurture. However, to create a business that really thrives on its own, we need to begin viewing our business as a conjoined twin that must be slowly and surgically separated from us.

No doubt, this process of separation can be a lengthy one, so to get us started, Mike maps out a few simple steps to help us identify the Queen Bee Role in our business and how to protect that through proper task management and delegation. Taking time to evaluate our business and to create effective systems is no easy task, but when we dedicate ourselves to streamlining how our businesses are run then we can live the lives that we truly desire and open up ourselves to serving our community better.
