You may need to change the way you think to be able to create a business that can make you the income you want without working yourself into the ground.
Growth requires change. Change in many forms.
You can’t grow if you can’t delegate.
- In any business being able to leverage your time is key to being able to do more
- Delegation is a core part of leveraging your time
If you need to improve your delegation you may need to start with your mindset. There are various definitions of ‘mindset’ but I like the one shared with me by Serena Sandstrom. Mindset is ‘the stories we tell ourselves’.
Read through the below ‘stories’. If there are any you find that you tell yourself it may be time to change your mindset.
I don’t delegate because I tell myself;
- I don’t need help – I am very good
- I can’t trust someone else to do it my way
- They won’t get it right
- I don’t have time to delegate
- I’m not sure what I want them to do
- I’m in a rush and I’ll do it later
- They’re not trained
- They don’t have the skill
- Its all too much, it’s too late, no time - I’ll have to do it
- I’m faster
- I’m better
- I will just have to check their work anyway so I'll do it myself anyway
- I won’t be able to control them or get them to do what I want done
- I don’t know how to get it done, so I’ll need to do it – I don't have time to find an expert
- I don’t understand the principles, so I can’t commit to starting or doing it their way (e.g.: when engaging an expert - architect, lawyer, financial adviser, accountant, chef, builder tradesman)
- If I get someone else to do it I won’t be across the details if someone asks me something
