When things need to get done, it doesn’t mean that you, as the entrepreneur, need to do them yourself. In fact, for the best kinds of business growth and business success, you need to do as little as possible. In this episode, business coaches Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller share the three rules for having a friction-free future.

Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:

The way to achieve more by actually doing less.
Why you need to be clear about what you want to be doing.
How to determine the minimum you need to do for a goal to be achieved.
Why things getting done without your doing them yourself means you’re growing.

Show Notes:

Strategic Coach has a lot of tools for creating teamwork where other people do work that you don't like doing.

For every task, there’s someone who’s great at it, loves doing it, and finds it energizing to do.

There are times in your past where you’ve done a lot, but someone else would have done it if you’d done nothing.

Friction is where you’re moving, but you’re being resisted by forces.

When a new thing has to be done, ask yourself three questions: Is there any way this can be achieved by me doing nothing? What’s the minimum I have to do for this to be achieved? Is there anyone else who can do my minimum?

The more you stick to the three rules, the more gets achieved by things you instigate.

Rather than having pride about the things that get done, some entrepreneurs have pride about doing the things that get things done.

An entrepreneur is only required for the activities they love doing.
