There’s more to your company’s finances than the revenue that it generates each year. Your business’s books hold the key to the health of your business and whether or not it will sustain itself for the long haul.

Owning your own business can be a lot to handle, and as a result, you may find that you’re constantly working. There’s so much to do and you want to make sure that all is going well, hence the need to always work.

Delegating is great for you and your business. When you can release some of the things that you’ve been responsible for to someone else it can have a huge impact on your schedule and productivity. However, you should be mindful that there is much more to delegating than handing things off to someone else. In the short term, simply delegating works, but in order to be truly effective in the long term it takes being privy to a few things.

In this episode, I will share with you what it takes to create long-term success in delegating, which in turn will help you to eliminate the roadblocks that can come when delegating isn’t done effectively.

• How to create organization around delegating
• The difference between management and leadership
• How to have tough conversations
• Why it’s important to be intentional when it comes to delegating
