Writing that last post...I remembered what got me hooked on delegation. Or at least thinking in that direction.
It was Tom Peter's book "The Pursuit of Wow!"
In the book I remember him suggesting to make a list of EVERYTHING you do in your business...and make it your mission to find people who are better than you to do every one of the things on your list.
When you think about it...there are people who are better than you at EVERY element of your business.
Really question why you do what you do...and see if it isn't true that someone could do it better, cheaper, more effectively than you.
Wouldn't it be cool if you could remove yourself completely?
Just focus on the things you love to do.
I love doing THIS. Encouraging, leading, developing your abilities and expanding your thinking.
I don't love doing anything with your websites. I don't even know how! I don't love answering the phone, or dealing with emergencies or administrative stuff....but Sony does, and Lori does, and Jesse can do anything I think of.
I've surrounded myself with people who support me in doing what I do best...and LIKE best.
What do YOU like best about your business?
How can you do JUST that?
Think about it...write out what it would look like...and you'll be amazed at what will happen in your subconcious to start making it happen.
