Multiply Your Success: Learn to Delegate!
Delegate to Your Business Dream Team to Multiply Your Success
To multiply your business success, you must learn to delegate to your business dream team. As an entrepreneur or small business owner you may be accustomed to working on your own. You may not recognize that you are the leader and part of a team. But you are! Our research of entrepreneurs has shown that those who understand that they should focus on what they do best and delegate the rest are the most successful. So you must ask yourself, “What do I do best”? “Is this the best use of my time”?
Make a Master List
First, make a master list of all your tasks for your business. List them all out. You may be surprised by the size of the list. Then number each task from one to five depending on how good you are at accomplishing it. Be honest! Your business may be more complicated than you realized. Include the items that you have delegated to your team.
Do Only What You Do Best
Second, you should keep only the tasks that are numbered 4 or above. Those are the items in which you excel. When you are doing those things you are in the zone. Everything is flowing. You then delegate the rest! Find someone else who enjoys and is better at the other items on the list. You may need to hire a virtual assistant or other outside expert if you are working alone.
Let It Go!
Third, you must follow through on your intention to delegate. You must let it go! Sometimes that is the hardest part. You may believe that you are the only one who can do it! After so many years of doing everything, it is difficult to give up control. But the benefits of giving up control are tremendous! Delegation allows you not only greater productivity. Delegation allow you to multiply the span and scope of your business.
Conclusion/Call to Action
As you see, to be successful you should focus on what you do best and delegate the rest! Start with your master list of tasks. Number those tasks from one to five depending on how good you are at doing it. Delegate everything that is 3 or below. That means you may need to hire a virtual assistant or other outside expert. As in most things in business, follow through is important. Once you have determined to delegate a task or function in your business, remember to let it go! You will find that you have multiplied your productivity.
