You’re not tired because you can’t handle it. You’re tired because you’ve convinced yourself you have to.


Let’s be real… Too many brilliant women are stuck in a loop of doing everything in their business, from client work to scheduling emails to updating their IG bio… again.


If you’ve ever thought:

“It’s easier if I just do it myself,” “I don’t have time to train someone,” or “No one will do it like I do”. Well then you, my friend, are stuck in founder fatigue.

At Fairbanks & Company, we see this every day. And we’re here to tell you:

Delegation isn’t a luxury. It’s a leadership move.

Delegate like a Boss!
Delegate like a Boss!

Why Delegation Feels So Hard (Especially for Women)


Women in leadership often carry invisible expectations:

  • Be in control

  • Be perfect

  • Don’t ask for help

  • Handle everything with grace


But here’s the truth: Trying to be everything will eventually cost you everything.

Burnout. Missed opportunities. Creative stagnation. Not because you’re not good, but because you’re not supported.


What Effective Delegation Really Looks Like


Delegation doesn’t mean dropping random tasks on people and hoping it works.

It means:

  • Identifying what’s draining your time

  • Creating simple instructions or templates

  • Hiring the right person; even for a few hours a month

  • Letting go of the idea that you’re the only one who can do it right


At Fairbanks & Co, we don’t just take tasks off your plate, we help you think like a CEO.


3 Tasks You Should Delegate This Month:


  1. Inbox & Calendar Management – Stop drowning in scheduling.

  2. Client Onboarding & Offboarding – Build a process once. Never redo it again.

  3. Weekly Operations or Content Publishing – You don’t need to post your own blogs, send newsletters, or check broken links. We do that.


The Shift:


The more you delegate, the more you elevate. You’ll have time to think bigger, rest deeper, and finally step fully into your role as the visionary; not the taskmaster.
