I've tried hiring people and it didn't work. Why would this be different?
You probably handed off work without a system. That's not a people problem. It's a process problem.
Because you handed people work without giving them a system. That's not a hiring problem. It's a documentation problem.
When a founder says "I tried delegating and it didn't work," it almost always means: the process lived in the founder's head, the new person had to guess, the quality dropped, and the founder took it back. That cycle repeats until the founder concludes that nobody can do what they do.
The fix: document the process before you hand it off. Step by step, with expected outcomes at each step. The standard isn't perfection. It's "good enough that someone else can do it at 80% of my quality." That 80% gives you 100% of your time back.
