Work Less, Do More - Mike Ficara and Lily Patrascu
Mike Ficara, President of the Mags Group and seasoned entrepreneur and consultant, emphasizes that to work less and achieve more, entrepreneurs must focus on delegation, as failing to delegate keeps leaders entangled in daily tasks rather than strategic growth. Reflecting on his own journey from substitute teaching to scaling a startup backed by Blockbuster Video’s Wayne Huizenga, Mike explains the importance of learning every aspect of a business firsthand before handing it off. He highlights that effective CEOs are those who step back, allowing their teams to take on responsibilities, make mistakes, and learn, which ultimately leads to sustained growth. According to Mike Ficara, building relationships over shared experiences, rather than traditional lead generation, has been key to his success in scaling businesses.
