Episode notes

When you tell yourself a story f like, i'm in a loose touch of my business, or this is bad for business, there's probably something a little bit deeper that you need to look at. And also, one of the best decisions i ever made once i had money was letting go of doing my own ads so i could focus on the things i was really good at. For me, my zona genius and where i add the most value in my company, is my leadership, my content creation and then strategizing big picture. These are three main things that are in my zone of genius. If i'm clear about these, then it's easier for me to let go of

Once I learned to let go, my business grew exponentially

If you’re anything like me, you like to have a hand in every single aspect of your business. After all, your business is where you spend the majority of your time, focus, and energy -- so why wouldn’t you want to feel like you’re 100% in control of it?

As you can probably tell, delegation is something that I’ve struggled with for a very long time. In fact, if I had a dollar for every time I said (or thought) “It’ll be easier if I do it myself,” or “It’ll be faster if I just do it,” I’d be a very rich woman.

But I’ll let you in on a little secret now that I’m on the other side of it: This is no way to grow, run, or scale a successful business. Not only do you burn yourself out by spinning the wheels on things that are outside of your zone of genius, but your growth will be limited because there’s only one you, and #spoileralert, you can’t possibly do everything because you’re human.

Trust me on this one. Once you are able to put your trust in somebody else who is equally or more capable of accomplishing the job or task at hand, things run a lot smoother, you’re less stressed out, and you are able to spend time doing the things that are going to actually help your business grow.

I know, I know. It’s difficult to let go of things that you’re used to being in control of. But that’s the thing with growth, right? It’s not always easy, but the growing pains are totally worth the end result.

So if you’ve been struggling with passing the torch, tune into this episode to learn:

The mindset I’ve embraced in order to let go of some of the most important pieces of my business
How to identify your ‘zone of genius' and make sure you stay working within it
Ways to overcome the “I can do it faster and better” mentality
The lessons I’ve learned from letting go and trusting others

Sneak away for a little bit (maybe even delegate your next task, if you dare… ) and tune into this episode that I hope will help you find the confidence to let go.
