How to Overcome Control Issues and Delegate Effectively

Most business owners know they should delegate. The sticking point is rarely knowledge. It is control. The business is their baby, nobody could possibly represent it like they do, and so everything stays in their head and on their plate. Meanwhile the to-do list keeps growing and the growth keeps stalling.

In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, Bonnie Schutz, founder and CEO of Tandem Resource Solutions and host of the Delegate2Elevate podcast, joins Amanda to unpack why letting go is so hard and how to start delegating in a way that actually feels safe. With nearly four decades in the administrative world, including 27 years in corporate roles supporting C-level leaders, Bonnie has seen delegation from both sides of the desk. Here is how she walks owners through it.

Recognize That Control Is the Real Bottleneck

When Amanda asked what founders must start delegating, Bonnie's answer was simple: everything. Not because owners should hand over the whole business tomorrow, but because the real obstacle is a mind that has not opened to the power of delegation yet.

• How It Matters: As Bonnie puts it, “If you're running flat, you're not scaling, you're not building, it might be because you're not delegating because you're trying to do it all.” When everything is controlled by one person, the business is capped at exactly one person's capacity.

• How to Do It: Start by noticing the script. “Nobody can do it better than me” is the tell, and Bonnie says it tends to soften once revenue grows and the owner is getting hit from every direction at once. The realization of “I have to let something go” is not a failure. It is the starting line.

• Common Mistake: A lot of owners treat control as quality assurance. Early on, while the business is still taking shape, that hands-on instinct serves a purpose. Past a certain point, though, the refusal to release anything becomes the very thing keeping the business flat.

Dip Your Toes In With One Small Delegation

Bonnie's favorite piece of advice is to dip your toes in the water. She did not know what she could delegate until she tried it, and she had spent almost 30 years being the person everyone else delegated to.

• How It Matters: One small, successful handoff builds the trust that makes every later delegation easier. The first thing Bonnie delegated was her bookkeeping. “I don't like math. I don't want to do the books.” In her experience, that is where most owners start.

• How to Do It: Pick one task, ideally one that drains energy, and be honest with the provider. Bonnie's script: “I've never done this before. I'd like to work with a bookkeeper. Can I try your services for 90 days and let you know if I'd like to continue?”

• Common Mistake: Treating delegation as a forever decision. Most owners stall because the commitment feels permanent. It does not have to be. A 90-day trial gives both sides a graceful exit and takes most of the fear out of trying.

Match the Support to Your Season of Business

A bookkeeping service, a solopreneur, a boutique agency, or a large firm are very different kinds of help. Bonnie's guidance is to let revenue, budget, and the level of personal touch you want drive the choice.

• How It Matters: The wrong fit can sour an owner on delegation entirely. A large firm tends to be less touch and more standardized process, while a solopreneur or boutique agency offers the personal, one-on-one relationship many entrepreneurs are really looking for.

• How to Do It: If the role is a right-arm assistant, prioritize someone who can know you well. Bonnie connects best with clients precisely because she runs a business too and is doing it right alongside them. And if the business is growing beyond belief, a big established firm is a fine choice, because they know exactly what they are doing at that scale.

• Common Mistake: Choosing on size or name alone. Plenty of owners sign with a behemoth and end up lost in the shuffle, when what they actually wanted was high-touch support from someone who understands the founder's seat.

Ask Questions Before You Ever Hire

For Bonnie, due diligence comes down to one habit: asking a lot of questions. Of the provider, and of the people who recommended them.

• How It Matters: In Bonnie's words, questions create clarity and “de-escalate things really fast.” They put the ball in the other person's court to share who they are and how they work, before any money changes hands.

• How to Do It: Mine the network first. Reach out to people who have worked with the provider and ask: What was it like to work with them? Why are you recommending them to me? Give me an example of what they did for you and how it got you to X, Y, and Z.

• Common Mistake: Hiring on hope. Amanda shared a line she picked up in a mastermind years ago: the best time to fire someone is before you ever hire them. Most hiring regret traces back to questions that never got asked.

Use Project-Based Support to Lower the Stakes

Many owners think a hire only counts if it is a full-time, long-term commitment. Bonnie sees project-based work as the bridge that gets first-time delegators moving.

• How It Matters: The corporate paradigm, the forty-year job with full benefits, makes a first hire feel impossibly heavy. In reality, plenty of skilled people are looking for a season of work, a next step, or a discrete project.

• How to Do It: Look for providers who offer try-before-you-buy, one-off project work, the way Bonnie's agency does. A clear scope and a clear end date let both sides test the fit. If it is a great match, keep going. If it was just fine, everyone moves ahead cleanly with no tears.

• Common Mistake: Staying stuck in corporate-style hiring math. The question is not “can I employ this person for decades?” It is “can this person take a meaningful piece off my plate this quarter?”

Make the Time, and the Mindset Shift, to Get Unstuck

To the overwhelmed owner who says this all sounds impossible, Bonnie's answer is blunt and kind at once: time is the investment, and the investment is the way out.

• How It Matters: “If you're feeling stuck and you don't invest a little time... to find a way to get unstuck by bringing somebody on to support you, then you're gonna stay stuck.” Bringing on support takes time to train someone on your goals, messaging, and vision, and that time buys back capacity many times over.

• How to Do It: Block off dedicated time to plan the handoff and onboard the person properly. Then reframe what delegation means. When Bonnie brought on her first intern, she discovered how much she loved teaching and mentoring. She now builds her team around single mothers, stay-at-home moms, and military wives, people she feels genuinely good about supporting. Delegation became a way of helping, not a loss of control.

• Common Mistake: The “I can't afford this” freeze. Bonnie had it herself, and imposter syndrome right along with it. Her first reaction when someone wanted to work for her was “Why on earth would you want to work for me?” The reframe that carried her through: you have to invest a little money to make a little money, and a little effort at the beginning usually means smooth sailing after.

Conclusion

Delegating effectively is less about systems and more about letting go in stages. Recognize that control is the bottleneck, dip your toes in with one small handoff, match the support to your season, ask plenty of questions, lower the stakes with project-based work, and invest the time to set your new support up to win. As Bonnie describes it, when the match is right, “you'll just start to feel the relief through your whole body.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a business owner delegate first?

Bonnie recommends starting with one contained task you dislike or that drains you. For her, and for most owners she talks to, that was bookkeeping. One small, successful handoff builds the confidence for bigger ones.

How do I know when I am ready to start delegating?

Bonnie says delegation gets easier once revenue reaches a point where demands are coming from every direction and one person genuinely cannot keep up. If the business is running flat and the calendar is full, that is usually the sign.

Should I hire a solo provider, a boutique agency, or a large firm?

It depends on budget and how much personal touch you want. Large firms are less touch with standardized processes, which works well at scale. Solopreneurs and boutique agencies offer high-touch, personal relationships, which most entrepreneurs prefer for a first hire or a right-arm assistant role.

How do I get over the fear of making my first hire?

Ask a lot of questions before committing, use referrals from your network, and consider a project-based or 90-day trial arrangement so the commitment has a clear end date. Reframing helps too: a hire is not just a cost, it is an opportunity you are creating for someone else.

Transcript

Amanda Kaufman (00:00)

Well, hey, hey, welcome back to the Amanda Kaufman Show. And today I'm joined by Bonnie Schutz, who is the founder and CEO of Tandem Resource Solutions, which is a boutique US-based administrative administrative recruiting and remote support agency. She gets things done. she has helped entrepreneurs, executives, and professional service providers delegate more strategically.

And with nearly four decades in the administrative world, including twenty-seven years in corporate roles and many years supporting C level leaders, Bonnie brings both the behind-the-scenes expertise and founder level perspective to the delegation conversation. Bonnie, welcome to the show.

Bonnie Schutz (00:39)

Yeah.

Thank you, Amanda. Happy to be here.

Amanda Kaufman (00:49)

my gosh. So right out the gate, I wanna know what is something you see a lot of founders doing that they really must start delegating.

Bonnie Schutz (00:58)

boy. And everything. I know that's so broad, but and I I speak from experience when I left corporate and and delved into this world of entrepreneurship myself. everything was staying in in my head and everything was controlled by me. and so it's just not opening their minds to the power of delegation, would be my answer.

Amanda Kaufman (01:20)

Interesting. Okay, so can you give me some examples of tells or behaviors that you see in a business owner where maybe they could be more open to delegating? Because I mean everything. You know, my first reaction to that is like, well, yeah, but well, yeah, but right, the the whole reason that we become entrepreneurs is for freedom and control. so what are some things that specifically

You see as like, no, but you really shouldn't be doing that.

Bonnie Schutz (01:50)

Yeah, well it it's just what you said. It's a lot of control. It's a lot of you know, when you create your business, it's your baby and you want it to represent you. And how on earth could could somebody else represent me like me? So they always said nobody can do it better than me. And yes, maybe in the beginning as you're setting it up and you're you're starting to grow, I say I think delegation becomes a little bit easier when you're maybe a little bit in and you're up to a certain revenue range where

Amanda Kaufman (02:03)

I don't know

Bonnie Schutz (02:16)

you're just being hit like wild cats all over the place and you just can't do it on your own. And you just finally come to the realization like I have to let something go. And so my favorite a piece of advice is to just dip your toes. Dip your toes in the water. I didn't know what I could delegate because I was always a delegate. So I didn't know what I could delegate until I tried it. the first thing I delegated first thing I delegated was my bookkeeping. I don't like math. I don't want to do the books.

Amanda Kaufman (02:36)

What's the first thing you delegated though?

Mm.

Bonnie Schutz (02:44)

So bookkeeping, that's a great one. And and the people that I've talked to, I think the consensus is that most of them try that first. it's about letting go. You know, like that Elsa, let it go, let it go kind of thing. Try it. You don't have to do it forever. You can, you know, if you're doing your due diligence and you're working with somebody, be open about it. I've never done this before. I'd like to work with a bookkeeper. Can I try your services for 90 days and let you know if I'd like to continue?

So those kind of things.

Amanda Kaufman (03:13)

Yeah, I love that. how do you know whether you should, for example, hire a service? Like I think about bookkeeping. There's lots of bookkeeping services out there. versus, you know, taking the big, big leap and starting to hire assistants and people that are playing a a a slightly bigger role in the in the business. How do I know when to do that and what's the first thing there?

Bonnie Schutz (03:32)

I think it yeah, I

think it kind of depends on your revenue in in the, you know, where you feel like you can afford it. If I'm being honest, if your budget is there for it, ⁓ an agency is gonna be less touch and it's gonna be more blank and they're gonna do what they do as you know, as their processes go. but what I've seen is some people that have been in business for a little bit, a little while, like that personal touch and the personal relationships.

Amanda Kaufman (03:42)

Mm.

Bonnie Schutz (03:58)

With say an assistant who is somebody that's your right arm. They have to know you well. with an agency like mine, you know, it's a mom and pop, it's a smaller agency, it's not the behemoths, you know, it's not the ones that you're gonna get lost in the shuffle. if you really want that high touch, which I think a lot of entrepreneurs do, finding a more boutique agency or an even a solopreneur who also is in business for themselves, you know, and and that's where I think I connect best with my clients is.

I'm doing this right alongside you. I'm running a business too. And it just makes me even coming as an EA before for their almost 30 years, I just my heart goes out and I want to help them as a business owner because I can relate now. And so having that personal one-on-one thing is really important. if that's it's if that's something you like. But yeah, I think a solo person is going to be somebody that's that high touch. A lot of us need. But you know what? If you're just growing beyond belief.

and you can go with an agency and like a huge bookkeeping firm, go for it. 'Cause they know what they're doing by that time.

Amanda Kaufman (05:00)

Well, and there's always gonna be like an investment attached to that, whether it's you know, somebody who's more

of a solo printer, mom and pop, like there's definitely delegation requires investment. I'd love to hear like what when you finally decided that you were going to not just be the helper, but to get the support, right? Get the help. what came up for you in that season when you were thinking about making that change?

Bonnie Schutz (05:12)

Mm-hmm.

It was reputation and brand. If I practice what I preach and I want to delegate to elevate, like I practice, I need to do it. And so

I I had so many people that I've talked to about the tips and tricks and their best practices that I thought, let's apply this thing. And I had the mind F, excuse my language. I had the mind freeze, we'll say that before, saying, I can't afford this. And I always thought of that that old adage of, you know, you gotta invest a little money to to make a little money kind of thing. And so I let that kind of be my guide and say, this is just how you gotta do it. because

If you're running flat, you're not scaling, you're not building, it might be because that you're not delegating because you're trying to do it all. ⁓ I see that and I've been I have tried to do it all, I really have, to save the budget and make more money. You know, that's a big motivator. But the possibilities grow when you when you have somebody else on your team helping you out.

Amanda Kaufman (06:10)

Totally. Yeah.

I think that's

Totally. And and

I think a lot of female entrepreneurs especially and not just female entrepreneurs, I think heart centered, you know, people that are doing it to take care of other people. So like that could be men too, obviously. but

Bonnie Schutz (06:36)

Yeah. Yes, I'll disappear.

Amanda Kaufman (06:40)

I would say definitely with women, when they are building a business and they're so used to taking care of everybody around them and they're so used to, you know, being being maybe that matriarch or maybe being that that person that everybody in their family unit goes to. I think it's especially hard to let go. That's been my observation anyway. I'm I'm curious, have you seen that a lot?

Bonnie Schutz (06:57)

Yeah.

I do. I'm in in an organization that I've aligned myself with is called Second Act Women. And it's about women who've made a pivot maybe from corporate like you and I into running our own businesses in their second acts. And so I have a a lot of wealth of knowledge of the people in that age because we all have that imposter syndrome that creeps in a lot. like who wants to work for me? I had that in my business when the first person said, I want to work for you. I'm like, Me? Why on earth would you want to work for me? You know? So it's kind of like

ki putting the kibosh on that that imposter syndrome. And what I've discovered, that can I tell you a quick story of what one of my first delegation stories was when I brought on an intern. I am an empty nester. So my kids are gone out of the nest. And like you mentioned, and it made me think about it, women maybe not all of us, some of us, are have that empty nest thing and we we like being the mother, the nurturer. When I when I brought on my intern

I didn't realize how much I like teaching and mentoring and thinking about where he was going in life and that I was going to be a little part of that. So it's a lot of time it's just reframing your mind, helping others can go so much to the nth degree. when you think about who you're helping. I like to help I like to have people on my team or or service providers be single mothers, stay-at-home moms, military wives, those kind of things that can I can really feel good about giving back and working with.

Amanda Kaufman (08:24)

You know, one of the things that came to my mind around delegation, I I too struggled with the part where you you want me to ask for help, not just be the helper. What? No. You know, I think one of the biggest breakthroughs I really had was the changing my velocity from like

Bonnie Schutz (08:25)

Yeah.

Yeah.

Amanda Kaufman (08:41)

I'm a job escaper. You know, when you're in the second chapter, it's like there's a lot of things like in the old world that you're like, I didn't like that. This wasn't aligned. This is not great. I gotta escape. And you know what? Like whatever motivates you to do you boo is like definitely the best. ⁓ but my breakthrough is really similar around just realizing that, I don't have to just be a job escaper, I can be a job creator.

Bonnie Schutz (08:50)

Mm-hmm.

Yes. Mm-hmm.

Amanda Kaufman (09:07)

I can be somebody who creates opportunity for other people to develop skill, to develop their confidence, to develop theirs, you know, to develop their their career. And maybe they're with me for a minute, right? Or they're with me for a long time. And like that's I think one of the most rewarding things about the second chapter, personally. Like

Bonnie Schutz (09:29)

It

really is. Mm-hmm.

Amanda Kaufman (09:30)

The impact and being like kind of

it's almost like a realignment when you move from being just like a cog and an org to being somebody who's creating something else that is better and and takes care of some of those problems that maybe you experienced in the past.

Bonnie Schutz (09:36)

Mm-hmm.

Yes. it's so true. That's really resonating with me because it's like I wanted to build the company that I would have wanted to work for. So I wanted my team to feel that way and get all the things that I wanted that I never got in my corporate rules. I mean, maybe I didn't quite I'm not able to give them quite everything I would have wanted. But I'm close and I really care about my team and I really, you know, want them to stay. You know, that makes, you know, if you're gonna invest the money that you sow, you you

Amanda Kaufman (09:51)

Mm.

Mm-hmm.

Bonnie Schutz (10:10)

protected for so long, you know, make them want to stay. ⁓ ask a lot of questions.

Amanda Kaufman (10:14)

Absolutely. And and that's I think one of

the big differences between you know, like a small business versus like a big corporation is it's really tough for a corporation to keep that heart and keep that care.

Bonnie Schutz (10:23)

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Amanda Kaufman (10:28)

And

you know, it can be very intimidating, I think, as a small business owner, to your point. Like the more resources you have, the more availability you have to like hiring. What would you say to someone who maybe they're in their early years or they're hustling and they're like modestly successful, but they keep hitting this capacity ceiling. Like they just keep they keep running out of time, they keep n dropping the ball basically. Like

Bonnie Schutz (10:41)

Mm.

Mm-hmm.

Amanda Kaufman (10:56)

You know, I think one

of the hardest things is making that very, very first hire. What would you tell them?

Bonnie Schutz (11:01)

It is.

Yeah, no, you know, again, it's like kind of let it go, kind of just do it, get your feet wet. I know it's hard. Listen to people like you and I who are advocating for you. look at your resources, look at who you know in your network and reach out to them and ask them about this person that you are thinking about hiring or or bringing on as a contractor or something or a service that is going to be provided to you. Ask.

questions. I can't overemphasize asking questions. What was it like to work with them? Why are you re recommending them to me? give me an example of what they did for you and how it got you to X, Y, and Z. the whole game, I think, for me, is asking a lot of questions to get more clarity and questions de escalate things really fast. It puts the ball in that person's court to just talk about themselves in a in a a lighthearted way. you know, and and share

of themselves as well. So I think that again is my very heart centric focus here. But it's worked for me. And I I it took me a while to start to ask all the questions and I think I've just learned that it works really well.

Amanda Kaufman (12:07)

Well, and you'd rather you I heard this in a mastermind years ago and and it was a writer downer, which was like the best time to fire someone is before you ever hire them. Right. So, right, because it's just awkward later. So I love that wisdom of just ask the questions and follow your heart and like really be c be curious. y you know, I I I think something that really helped me as well is just recognizing if my own path involved multiple chapters, which it has, right? It's reasonable that someone

Bonnie Schutz (12:11)

Yeah.

Yeah.

Amanda Kaufman (12:35)

is looking for you for a particular chapter. I mean like there's a lot of small businesses that probably do have the capacity to hire.

But they're they're still thinking in the corporate paradigm. They're like, can I give this person a job for forty years? Can I do like a full W two with benefits? Like and and the the radical truth is is that there are a lot of people who are maybe looking for the next step in their career or they're looking for maybe a season of support. So, you know, like what about that? What about like project based hiring? Is that something that you advocate people do?

Bonnie Schutz (13:11)

I do. and not to be all salesy, but I do that with my agency too. And I've just put a lot out there about one-off project work because it seems to be where my clients are s are headed. They can't always feel like they can make the commitment, like you said, for years. They want to just and especially if it's their first hire. But maybe more businesses listening to this that are service providers can pr provide those try before you buy type one offs.

to see how they like it. And and I think maybe you seek out those kind of firms or s or service providers that can help you that way because then you kind of get a really good feeling of whether you're gonna be good at this or not. And that's important to be good at.

Amanda Kaufman (13:46)

Mm-hmm. Yeah. And I mean it

it's a real win win to think in terms of project too, right? Because it gives them an opportunity to try out your brand. And like if they don't if they don't vibe or if it's like it was fine, but we don't really want to do any more, by having like a clear end date on a discrete project, everybody moves ahead and it doesn't it doesn't have the tiers. ⁓

Bonnie Schutz (14:10)

Yes. Yes,

absolutely.

Amanda Kaufman (14:11)

Yeah,

so that that's pretty powerful. what would you tell the gal or guy who is like, Yep, sounds good, ladies. I'm overwhelmed. Like I have so many things, this feels really impossible. I'm absolutely stuck. Like, any any tips there?

Bonnie Schutz (14:28)

I mean, I would say you if you're feeling stuck and you don't invest a little time that you just block off this time that you're gonna invest to find a way to get unstuck by bringing somebody on to support you, then you're gonna stay stuck. ⁓ you just have to be able it it's important if it's important enough for you to get out of this stress and out of this, you know, load, then you have to make the time. It and it you know, bringing any service provider on takes a little time.

Amanda Kaufman (14:41)

Mm-hmm.

Bonnie Schutz (14:54)

And that commitment and if you are the service provider and their client is saying, I've got time put aside for you. That is your client. Because you, you know, on both sides, you want to do what's right. You want them to last if you're the client. If you're the service provider, you want them to be dedicated and really ready to do this with you. And so it's kind of like a win-win again if you invest time and you just I think you have to really think about it.

Can I invest this time in this person to train them, have them understand my my company goals and messaging and vision? time. So time is my answer. Really long way to say it, but time is my answer. Invest. Mm-hmm.

Amanda Kaufman (15:28)

I know.

But it's kind of like the

same philosophy you shared earlier where you've got to spend a little money to make a little money. If you want to make more time, if you want to buy your time back, you've got to make the time, right? To be able to do that, to like first of all form the plan, then engage someone, perhaps like yourself, who can actually do some of the matching. So you find the right personality fit and the right person to actually realize your plan with you. And it does take time to manage it. But when you consider the capacity that you

Bonnie Schutz (15:39)

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Amanda Kaufman (15:59)

get back, it's like this little investment that makes a really big return, right? I love this.

Bonnie Schutz (16:01)

Yeah.

Yeah, a little

effort at the beginning and then it it then it just usually if it's a good match, it's smooth sailing from there and then you'll just start to feel the relief through your whole body, let me tell you. I know I did.

Amanda Kaufman (16:18)

Me too. Yes, absolutely. I really do believe in in

partnership and working with the right people and the right timing and the right things. Bonnie, this has been such a pleasure. Like if somebody wanted to, I don't know, listen to you tell some more stories or connect with your expertise, what's the best way to do that?

Bonnie Schutz (16:25)

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.
