Hire Smarter, Delegate Better: Building a Team That Drives Growth

As part of our Wednesday Workshop Series for established entrepreneurs, this session focuses on one of the most critical—and often challenging—steps in scaling a business: knowing when to hire and how to delegate effectively.

Many business owners reach a point where growth stalls—not because of lack of opportunity, but because everything still depends on them. This workshop will help you shift from doing everything yourself to building a team that supports sustainable growth.

You’ll learn how to identify the right time to hire, what roles to prioritize, and how to delegate in a way that increases efficiency, accountability, and results—without losing control of your business.

Presented by Dale Walters, a SCORE mentor with extensive experience in personal financial planning, tax strategy, and business coaching. Dale brings a practical, financial lens to hiring and delegation decisions, helping entrepreneurs build stronger, more scalable businesses.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

• Recognize when it’s time to hire versus when to optimize what you have
• Identify the right roles that will have the biggest impact on your growth
• Delegate effectively to free up your time without sacrificing quality
• Avoid common hiring mistakes that cost time and money
• Build systems and accountability to ensure your team performs

If you’re ready to stop being the bottleneck in your business and start building a team that supports your next stage of growth, this session will give you the clarity and tools to do it right.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:
