  Aug 19, 202624 minS4

  What if the biggest obstacle to scaling your business isn't finding more clients—but the fact that everything still depends on you? In this episode of Telling My Story, I sit down with Anna Rikka Aborro, founder of TAP Virtual Solutions and TAP OBM, an operations and online business management expert with over 18 years of experience helping founders organize the messy backend of their businesses. Anna works with coaches, consultants, and service-based entrepreneurs who have the clients, revenue, and team to grow—but whose systems, workflows, delegation, and accountability haven't caught up with their vision. In our conversation, we explore founder bottlenecks, delegation, business systems, SOPs, team leadership, virtual assistants, project management, and what it really takes to build a business that can thrive without the owner making every decision. Whether you're a business owner, entrepreneur, team leader, VA, or project manager, this episode offers practical strategies for creating sustainable growth without burnout.
