$16 vs. $160
“If you’re doing everything yourself, you’re not saving money—you’re losing it.”
Entrepreneurs and CEOs often wear busyness like a badge of honor. You’re answering emails, updating spreadsheets, scheduling calls, chasing invoices, and posting content—because it feels productive. But here’s the hard truth: the time you spend on $10 tasks could be costing you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars every single day.
Let’s break down the real cost of not delegating.
1. The Hidden Price of Doing It All
On paper, doing your own admin tasks looks “free.” But is it really?
Think about your hourly value as a CEO.
If you’re worth $50, $100, or $250 per hour…
Every hour spent on low-value admin = profit slipping away.
Answering emails, fixing Canva graphics, or chasing receipts isn’t free—it’s opportunity cost. Every hour you spend in the weeds is an hour you’re not closing deals, building partnerships, or scaling revenue.
👉 That’s not just time lost. That’s money lost.
2. The Math: $16 vs. $160
Here’s a simple example:
You spend 2 hours updating your calendar and inbox.
At $80/hr of CEO value = $160 worth of your time gone.
Now compare:
Hiring a Relay Club VA Partner = $16/day.
For less than the price of lunch, you could have delegated those tasks and protected your $160 value.
👉 That’s a 10x loss when you try to “save money” by doing it all yourself.
3. Delegation = Multiplication
Delegating isn’t just about taking tasks off your plate—it’s about multiplying productivity.
While you’re:
✅ Meeting a client
✅ Closing a deal
✅ Building your next offer
Your VA Partner is:
➡️ Managing your inbox
➡️ Scheduling appointments
➡️ Updating your CRM
➡️ Posting your content consistently
One person. Two streams of progress. That’s the power of leverage.
4. The Intangibles You Don’t See on a Spreadsheet
The true cost of not delegating isn’t just dollars—it’s stress.
When you do it all yourself, you’re stuck with:
❌ Late nights catching up on admin
❌ Dropped balls with clients and leads
❌ Constant overwhelm and burnout
But when you delegate for just $16/day, you gain:
✅ Peace of mind
✅ Consistency in your business
✅ Freedom to focus on growth and your personal life
