Delegate

Delegating is a skill--and one not often taught to us.

Over the last 1.5 years, I've focused on honing this skill.

I've thought of it as:

🔑 giving opportunities;

🔑 building relationships and teams;

🔑 creating space; and

🔑 asking for help.

Today, I delegate with a passion.

And: I delegate even if it means my billable hours slow down.

That can feel scary. I live in a world where hoarding work (and banking #billablehours) can feel like the best move--for myself.

But, now that I'm a partner, I need to create space, build teams, train the next generation, and more.

Related to Friday's post: I will ride the waves, taking advantage of the moments when things are "delegated out," giving me time to work on the business and further my goals.

Today, it doesn't feel scary. It feels really, really good.
