3 Common Myths About Delegating
There’s no doubt in my mind that you’ll have heard this before:
Delegating is KEY to building the 7-figure business of your dreams while still having balance in your life.
Let’s face it, you’re GREAT at what you do. It’s what has brought you to this stage now where business is good, clients are thrilled and you’re scaling your biz at a great rate.
But instead of being the CEO of your biz, you’re the COE (Chief of Everything!)
What happens if you take a day off? A week off? A month??
What shape would your business be in?
Because no matter how well your business is doing right now, if you can’t ENJOY your family, get time OFF, or have the scope to GROW even more?
You have a bottleneck in your business and you’re capping your success potential.
If the idea of delegating brings you out in a cold sweat, chances are it’s because you’ve either:
Tried it out before, had a bad experience and swore off trying again
Heard one of these common myths about delegating and so you’ve never given it a try
Let’s bust some of those myths…
“It’s faster to just do it myself”
Initially, yes. I can’t deny it.
But if you never make a change, nothing will change.
You can’t keep doing everything yourself - that’s how you become the bottleneck in your business.
The first time you explain your processes to a team member, it might take longer than you doing it yourself.
But that extra time means you never have to do it again.
Imagine how great that would feel?
“I’m the only person who can properly do this task”
When you start a business, you’re forced to do everything. You wear ALL the hats and spin all the plates.
And that’s ok because that’s what many of us have to do when we’re starting out.
You’ll always have things that you’re naturally just AWESOME at; I like to call that your Zone of Genius.
Your zone of genius is where you should be spending most of your time.
And the tasks that aren’t in that zone for you? Sure, you might be pretty good at them.
But I GUARANTEE you now - someone else is AMAZING at those, it’s their zone of genius.
So, why wouldn’t you want to give those tasks to someone who not only loves them, but can do them brilliantly and in a fraction of the time?
“The tasks I need to do are too ‘trivial’ to get someone else to do”
Often, entrepreneurs who are growing their business worry about the tasks they want to delegate.
Diary management
Email management
Executive assistance
They’re concerned about asking someone to do these things because they worry that they’re trivial.
In reality? When you hire an elite VA, they take these tasks and elevate them to a whole new level.
Diary management moves from booking appointments to proactively managing your diary, making your time work better for you.
Email management takes your inbox from chaos to a calm and controlled centre for comms.
And you get an executive on your team who knows exactly what’s coming up, and how to support your business so you can focus on your zone of genius.
