The Curse of Competence — Every Entrepreneur’s Silent Struggle
You’re the visionary. The executor. The fixer.
You wear every hat because you can — and that’s the trap.
💡 When you’re highly competent, people stop asking if you can do something — they assume you always will.
You become the default problem solver, decision maker, crisis handler.
But no one sees the toll it takes.
📉 Delegation becomes a luxury.
😮💨 Burnout becomes background noise.
📈 Progress feels like survival.
👉 Just because you’re capable doesn’t mean it’s sustainable.
If you’re building something big — remember:
Your energy is a resource.
Your clarity is a currency.
Your team can’t grow if you don’t let go.
Work on the business, not just in it.
