First and foremost, have your team's best interest in mind. If nothing else, it will help you see things from their perspective. Especially when it's your business, you will have a tendency to subconsciously expect that they are as committed to it as you are, and that's the farthest thing from the truth. Delegation: be sure that the person you're delegating to can actually handle the task, wants to handle the task, and that you are really OK with them taking on the task. Don't "delegate and hover." Delegate and leave them alone until whatever time you've asked for feedback on how it's going. In general think of being an manager as always being concerned with how you can best make your team successful. The comment from /u/ws66 that "you now work for them" is very insightful.
