Once I learned to let go, my business grew exponentially\nIf you\u2019re 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\u2019t you want to feel like you\u2019re 100% in control of it?\xa0\nAs you can probably tell, delegation is something that I\u2019ve struggled with for a very long time. In fact, if I had a dollar for every time I said (or thought) \u201cIt\u2019ll be easier if I do it myself,\u201d or \u201cIt\u2019ll be faster if I just do it,\u201d I\u2019d be a very rich woman.\nBut I\u2019ll let you in on a little secret now that I\u2019m 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\u2019s only one you, and #spoileralert, you can\u2019t possibly do everything because you\u2019re human.\nTrust 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\u2019re less stressed out, and you are able to spend time doing the things that are going to actually help your business grow.\xa0\nI know, I know. It\u2019s difficult to let go of things that you\u2019re used to being in control of. But that\u2019s the thing with growth, right? It\u2019s not always easy, but the growing pains are totally worth the end result.\nSo if you\u2019ve been struggling with passing the torch, tune into this episode to learn:\xa0\n\nThe mindset I\u2019ve embraced in order to let go of some of the most important pieces of my business\n\nHow to identify your \u2018zone of genius'\xa0and make sure you stay working within it\n\nWays to overcome the \u201cI can do it faster and better\u201d mentality\n\nThe lessons I\u2019ve learned from letting go and trusting others\n\nSneak away for a little bit (maybe even delegate your next task, if you dare\u2026 ) and tune into this episode that I hope will help you find the confidence to let go.\nRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts\n"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
