The Sweaty Startup

What is your definition of success? For me, my definition of success is money in the bank. Because money, in my opinion, is a direct reflection of how much value you've added to the world. But as I've gotten older, I consider success a happy life. I consider success a balanced life where you're not just a good business person, but you're a good family member, husband, father and you are healthy, both physically and mentally. Find out why having a right definition of success is important in this episode.

I'm going to talk to you about delegation, the hardest and most important part of getting wealthy. I'm going to share a fact that I made up. 99% of business owners suck at delegation, specifically, management tasks. Meaning, a task that's not simply obeying orders, for example, answering phone calls or delivering kinds of stuff. When I say management task, I meant, doing the work to make a decision that impacts the business's bottom line, whether it be quoting jobs, hiring, or training employees, selling new work, and deciding whether to buy something or not. All those things that you as a business owner get overloaded doing. Now, 99% of business owners absolutely suck at delegating that stuff, and that's why they work way too much, and they're underpaid.

A little quick episode about what sucks in entrepreneurship culture. I've been trying to be positive and avoid being negative. So, let me rant for a bit. I notice lately how the media are romanticizing the idea of building a "start-up" business and gaining hype around starting a business with these "new" ideas. Frankly, I call BS.
