The Delegation Trap 📕

The Delegation Trap’ Is Live!

This isn’t just a book launch, it’s a jailbreak from the cage every founder builds around themselves:

  • Your company stalls when you’re not there.

  • Your team waits for you to approve every decision.

  • You wear “busy” like a badge of honor—while quietly burning out.

I know, because I lived it. I built a company that owned me—until I almost broke. That’s why I wrote The Delegation Trap.

Inside, I reveal the C.A.S.E. Method, a system for building a team that runs at 120% without you:

  • 7 silent mistakes that keep your team dependent.

  • Why “80% good enough” is a myth.

  • The 4 C.A.S.E. questions that turn order-takers into problem-solvers.

  • How I delegated 200+ tasks without chaos.

This isn’t about checklists or productivity hacks. It’s about giving your team your thinking, not just your tasks so they can lead at your level.

Atiba’s Musings 🤓

3 Signs You Have Superhero Complex

Most business owners deny it, but here's the truth - we're all superheroes, and it's killing our businesses. You know you're the superhero when everyone waits for you to make decisions and comes to you for answers. When projects aren't moving fast enough, you jump in to "save the day" because it's your money and company on the line. But here's what we don't want to admit: we actually love being needed. When problems arise and we swoop in to fix them, we get a massive dopamine hit. We feel valuable, important - like we're really being business owners.

I realized this years later when I sat in my quiet office, no Slack notifications going off, everything running smoothly. My first thought? "What's my purpose if they don't need me?" That's the trap.

We complain about always being needed while simultaneously craving that hero moment. When we constantly rescue our teams, we literally train them that if they wait long enough, we'll handle it. And human nature being what it is - they will, every single time.

The real breakthrough happens when we delegate effectively and teach our people to think for themselves. This frees us to operate in our zone of genius, working above our businesses instead of being trapped in them. That's where true innovation and growth happen.

What We’re Building with AI 🤖

📽️ Under the Hood of Chatbots

Chatbots are everywhere right now—but most of them just spit out preloaded answers. I wanted to show you what we’ve been working on behind the scenes: an AI chatbot that actually learns and grows with you. We built a system that doesn’t just store static info—it connects to your YouTube, Google Drive, and soon even your social posts, updating itself daily with new content. So when someone asks your bot a question, it can pull insights from across your real-world content—like video transcripts, blogs, and docs—and deliver a smart, personalized answer.

No more outdated responses or constant manual updates. This is a self-updating RAG system (retrieval augmented generation), and we’re building it to work not just for us—but for every client we serve. It's already in motion for our community launch, and honestly… this is just one small piece of a much bigger (and cooler) AI puzzle we’re putting together.

Book I’m Currently Reading 🕮

The 4 Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney

This book hit me because it reframes focus. It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing the right things with discipline. As a leader, I’ve seen how easy it is to drown in “urgent” tasks. What matters is clarity, accountability, and consistent execution—that’s what actually moves the needle.
