Summary
Overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list? You’re not alone. In this episode, I coach Sandy Palisch, the founder of Simply Organic Soap, on what it really looks like to delegate inside a product-based business—and how to start letting go without losing control. Whether you’re still a solo-preneur or you’ve got a small team, learning how to shift from “doer” to “leader” is the key to growing your business without burning out.
Sandy has been doing it all herself—making every product, answering every customer, and juggling every task. But as her business grows, it’s clear that something has to change. I walk her through the mindset, systems, and baby steps she can take to confidently delegate and protect her time. If you’ve ever said, “It’s just easier if I do it myself,” this episode is going to challenge you—in the best way.
Tune in to learn how to streamline your daily work, step into the CEO role, and make space for growth in your business.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Jacqueline Snyder, and this is the Product Boss podcast. I've helped launch and grow |
| 0:07.6 | thousands of product-based businesses, even one of my own. And over the last 20 years, |
| 0:12.6 | I've seen behind the scenes of businesses just like yours. Whether they are makers, |
| 0:17.9 | manufacturers, artists, or food and beverage businesses, I have spent |
| 0:21.6 | so many hours studying it all. I've discovered what makes them successful, what mistakes they |
| 0:27.5 | could have avoided, how did they turn their ideas into a successful business, and what are the |
| 0:33.0 | strategies that they have used to make more sales and be discovered by more customers. And this is what this show |
| 0:39.6 | is all about. Whether you're just starting out or you're looking to become a million dollar product boss, |
| 0:44.9 | I'm here to give you the permission to chase your dreams, no matter how big or small. All you need is |
| 0:51.1 | the right mindset, a little courage, strategy, and support, and you too can be |
| 0:55.8 | the next million dollar product boss. Let's do this. Oh my goodness, friends, if you are anything |
| 1:02.4 | like me, you probably spend more time running errands than running your business. Am I right? |

| 1:11.5 | from me back in the day, which is why I decided to get help where I could. And I decided to let |
| 1:17.2 | Instacart handle all of my grocery shopping. So I no longer had to worry about running all the errands |
| 1:22.2 | and having to run out and get more almond milk from my lotches. Rather, I was like, you know what? |
| 1:26.1 | We're just going to let Instacart handle that. So I want you to imagine skipping the store and getting back to designing, |
| 1:31.3 | packaging orders, making, or maybe actually taking a break, even a nap. Remember those? Okay, |
| 1:36.5 | so with Instacart, you can get groceries and essentials delivered in as fast as an hour so you can |
| 1:41.2 | focus on growing your business without sacrificing a meal. Plus, less |
| 1:44.3 | stress and more focus. And here's a tip. I've actually used Instacart before to order gifts from my |
| 1:48.8 | daughter's friend's birthday parties because I haven't had time to run out and get presents. And I've been |
