Hello Reader, What's the secret to getting more done? Is it:
If you've ever hit burnout before, I'm sure you know the right answer. Sometimes the answer isn't in doing more, but in having less to do. One of the best ways you can do less, but still get everything done, is delegation. Delegation magnifies your effort exponentially.There is a limitation how much work you can personally do. By delegating to others, you gain their abilities, their perspective, and their time. The work you can do through others is much greater than what you can do alone. In 2014, Gallup studied 143 CEOs in the 500 fastest growing companies. They analyzed their entrepreneurial talent profiles, and compared them with the results they had achieved with their companies over the past three years. They found that high-delegators averaged 1751% growth, twice the low-delegators in the group. The high-delegators generated 33% more revenue, and created more jobs at a faster rate. "When you delegate tasks, you create followers. When you delegate authority, you create leaders.” − Craig Groeschel My attitude towards delegation changed when I heard Loral Langmeier say, "Millionaires don't do their own laundry." It completely reframed how I looked at my chores, which are an essential (and unpaid) part of my work. How much is your time worth per hour? If you are doing a task that you can delegate for a cheaper rate, you are losing money by doing it yourself. The next time you make a to-do list, add a 'D' next to anything that you could delegate to someone else. Just by acknowledging the tasks on your list that could be delegated, you will get in the habit of sharing the workload, and getting more done by doing less. Delegation frees you to focus on high-impact activities.If you need a thinking partner to sort through your to-do list with you, identify your biggest priorities, and make plans for Getting Things Done, apply for a free coaching call. |

📊 Prompting is the most important skill of the future. Hello Reader, Good prompts get good outputs, and if you're not working on your prompting skills (promptly!) then you are falling behind.
