“It’s easier to just do it myself”
How often have you said those words? Explaining the required steps to complete a task can seem more cumbersome than just handling it — especially when you include a quality-check, fix any errors and provide feedback. And (even if we don’t like to admit it), many of us like handling those easy tasks because they produce a sense of accomplishment — even if they’re not the pressing items we should be focused on.
The ugly truth: Doing everything yourself will ensure that your business won’t scale to the next level.

Oh so true, Nancy. I’m in the process of reading “One Thing,” which reinforces this message and focusing on what matters most. Thanks for great reminder!
Thank you for your comment, Jacqueline. We can never have too many reminders … I’ll need to check out that book.
