I've been called a control freak, multitasker, goof ball, magnificent manifestor and just plain ole freak. I can relate to all of them. However, the one that really irritates me is when someone says I'm not very good at delegating.
Why? Because I see how often it doesn't even occur to me to ask for help. I'm used to figuring stuff out with my Inner Business Expert (aka Divine Guidance) or whoever is coaching me. After years of being single and a solo-entrepreneur I created a bad habit of handling everything myself.
I shifted this practice after I created a family. My time and energy was poured into feeding, bathing, cuddling, playing and cleaning up after my boys. I realized quickly that the only way to stay sane was to expand my circle of physical and mental support.
There is no way to generate a huge increase in profits, and sustain it, if you're not tapping into the expertise and leveraging the time of other people. Even if you have a GREAT team and you think you ask for help often, push your own boundaries on this topic.
I don't know about you, but I struggled mightily trying to figure out how to make a quantum leap in my business. Funny thing is that anytime my profits jumped up in a significant way, it was never the way I had intended.
If you’re reading this it’s because you want to be uplifted. You want to get a nugget or two about how to grow your business better, faster and easier. And if I can potentially do that for you and it’s fulfilling for me, why wouldn’t I? It's especially rewarding for me if you become my ideal customer or client down the road.
If you have a DVD, CD or digital training program in your possession that is sitting there waiting for you to finish it, raise your hand. I’m raising my hand right now. I have a marketing video series sitting next to my desk - half finished. It was a gift, but when I first received it, I was plowing through the marketing DVDs. Then I went to a Mari Smith live event to learn more about Social Media, joined a mastermind and moved on to other things. They’ve been sitting there for well over a year.
When you have a grand vision of your book hitting best seller status or the new product launch making thousands upon its release, self imposed pressure to ‘knock it out of the ballpark’ can be hazardous to your success. It can also be hazardous to your health. I’ve even seen how the stress can negatively impact the overall success of an entire business.
