As small business owners, we absolutely have a tendency to wear all the hats. Starting out like that is often necessary, but it shouldn't be the norm.
Letting go and training others, giving up on total perfection and control, are just a few ways we can be holding ourselves back as business owners. How do you handle delegating and letting go in your small business?
I've always been a huge advocate of do what you're good at and outsource, train, or get help for the rest.
What tasks, responsibilities or roles can you outsource or delegate in your small business?
What tools or support do you need to get there?
As an educator and lifelong lover of learning, I find that I like to learn how to DIY something, get a good grasp on how it functions, and then I can let go and delegate. This way, I'm informed enough to keep a high-level view on things and can jump into help if necessary. Delegating while also being informed keeps me from getting bogged down in the day-to-day tasks and responsibilities and frees me up for tasks that absolutely need my attention and expertise.
