Listen "Why Doing It All Yourself Holds You Back With Mitch Beinhaker"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Mitch shares how he went from “accidental attorney” to seasoned business owner, why so many entrepreneurs get stuck trying to do everything themselves, and what changes when you start delegating on purpose instead of as a last resort. He talks about building his solo practice, adding partners and staff, then intentionally going back out on his own, and how bringing on a VA and outside support transformed both his law firm and his podcast.
Mitch also unpacks the difference between being an employee and a business owner, the cost of trying to “muscle through” everything yourself, and why the most successful entrepreneurs design delegation and team-building into their plans from day one. He shares stories from hundreds of podcast interviews, from portfolio entrepreneurs to real estate empires built by design, and the common threads he sees among those who succeed versus those who burn out.
If you have ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in the weeds, or guilty about letting go of tasks you “should” be able to do, this conversation will give you permission and a practical mindset shift. Mitch also offers candid insight on succession planning, evolving your business over decades, and why investing in yourself and your network is just as important as any marketing tactic.
We talk about:
The “entrepreneur’s myth” that you have to wear every hat forever.
How to decide what to delegate first (hint: start with what drains you or stalls momentum).
Why hanging onto everything isn’t commitment, it is double damage to your business and your health.
Why your network is a safety net for your job, your business, and your reputation.
How podcasting became one of Mitch’s most powerful networking tools, connecting him to guests around the world.
Practical ways to start networking more intentionally, even if you are busy, introverted, or “hate networking events.”
