A successful business owner recently caught up with Jason Jimenez at an LBW in-person mixer, wrestling with a familiar founder's trap: every single employee problem and next step kept landing back on his desk.
Jason leaned into the LBW spirit of connection and shared the exact playbook he uses in his own businesses.
When a team member brings him a problem, Jason turns it around with one simple question:
“What do you think we should do to fix it?”
Most of the time, the employee already has a solid idea. Jason simply greenlights them to try it and report back:
If it succeeds: They celebrate the win, building confidence and momentum.
If it misses: It turns into a coaching moment to refine the approach together.
Then came the real breakthrough. Jason explained that because the team was already well-trained and aligned on company values, they didn't even need to ask first. They were empowered to execute their best solution immediately, coming to Jason only to share wins or work through a strategic pivot.
The business owner implemented Jason’s system right away. The result? He immediately reclaimed hours of high-value time every single week.
When your time is worth $500 to $1,000+ an hour, a single conversation at an LBW event doesn't just lighten your workload, it buys back $5,000 to $10,000 a month while building a truly autonomous team.
