A lot of people say they have a problem with time management.
Never enough time to get things done, always putting out fires, never getting ahead of the task list…
I don’t think it’s actually a problem with time management per se, though.
It a problem with “who” management.
It’s “who” you need to learn how to outsource and delegate tasks to – instead of trying to take on everything yourself.
We’re “doers” with a strong work ethic.
Most of the time we think “If I don’t do it myself, it won’t get done right!”
That may be true for a very small percentage of things.
But there’s a world of things other people can do – often even better than you can – and they actually enjoy doing them!
You can outsource to an employee, staff member, virtual assistant, contractor, or even another company.
One key tip: You do need a personal assistant, even one who works remotely.
Because we can connect digitally in real-time from anywhere in the world, a lot of people I know (including myself) have assistants who don’t work with them in their offices.
The first step is simply getting someone to manage your time, communication, emails, and people.
You’ll have to learn to delegate – it doesn’t always come easily.
But once you get into a rhythm with someone who’s really good in that role, you’ll never go back!
If that part-time assistant is the right person, you’ll find more and more things for them to do.
And they’ll be happy to help you because they love to do it!
Learning to delegate, outsource, and eliminate what doesn’t matter makes a massive difference in how much time you have – and as we all know, time is our most valuable asset.
To your freedom!
