Tips for Getting Things Done, Your Way, Without Doing It Yourself

Often, as business owners we can try to do things ourselves to save money. While this might be necessary at the start, the true power of a great business lies in finding people you trust to deliver work for you, perhaps even more effectively than you can.

The hiring process of great businesses is to hire people that are better than we are. I mean this with care and compassion. True success in business comes with applying logic and ensuring our egos know where our businesses are heading, not where our egos are going.

We all have different abilities, and if your time and energy are consumed by tasks that aren't a good use of your skills, it takes away from your ability to grow your business.

Two questions to ask yourself would be:

1) Evaluate whether you still need to do the things you're doing, or whether you are in the natural habit of saving money for your business?

2) Ask yourself what money could be generated if you outsourced certain tasks?

Making smart cost-effective decisions is great for your business; however, it is often a habit I've seen many wish they had broken with hindsight.

After all, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

You created your business to Grow, Succeed, and Inspire.

Here are some essential tips to consider when getting things done, your way without doing it yourself:

1. Identify the Pieces of the Puzzle: Understand what aspects of your business need your focus. Structure your time to work on your growth and create intentions specific to your needs.

   
   

2. Empower Yourself: Take responsibility and action to achieve what you want in your life and business. Prioritize your growth, your way, which can mean time spent with others to grow them or delegation and trust, so you can step into the light you're meant to shine.

   
   

3. Focus on Cash Generation: Review all tasks and give them a points system for how they contribute to generating cash in your business. The more points they have, the more they will generate cash. What gets measured gets done.

   
   

There will undoubtedly be bumps in the road as you nurture your team to run your business your way. However, once you nail this, you'll become free within your business to focus on the things you love or the reasons you started your business in the first place.

Watch out for the trap of thinking, "I may as well just do it myself."

If you're a solopreneur, there are now more ways than ever to delegate tasks and reduce your time spent on activities that don't directly contribute to your growth. Embrace these opportunities to prioritize your growth and success.

Together, we can achieve great things.
