Typically when I work with business owners on delegating effectively, one of the top problems is getting them to realize it's ok to let go! They believe they are the only ones who can do the job . . . and it's difficult for them to give up control. (Yes - this is even AFTER they realize that they only have 168 hours each week . . [...]
Effectively delegating is a skill. As with any skill, the more you practice the better you become. Often clients share with me their HORROR stories of the times they have tried to delegate and “failed.” One of the common frustrations is that “by the time they explain it, they could have just done it themselves.” Depending on the task being delegated, this may be [...]
When you have dozens of tasks on a bursting-at-the-seams to do list, you just have to work harder, right? WRONG!

Let's be honest - when you are in the beginning stages of your business money can be tight. You are working so diligently on ALL phases of your business. You know that if you could delegate some of the "stuff" you [...]

And yet, for some reason, we tend to tackle the work ourselves. “It’s simpler this way,” we say. “In the time it takes me to teach someone else how to do the task, I could be halfway done [...]
A few days ago I shared how my client (we'll call her Berry) started to create new habits in her life using routines. I'd like to visit another piece of the “what’s working now” conversation we had - and focus on the success she has created recently through delegating. Like many of my clients, Berry is a complex individual balancing many roles . . . mother [...]

What is your biggest challenge with time? We narrowed the list to six main categories. They then broke into groups and shared best practices and consistent solutions that work for each of them. Below are the results of [...]
