This is an episode I wish I had a long time ago when I made the mistake of not learning to delegate sooner and thinking delegation was trying to find my perfect clone. They do not exist and for good reason. In this episode, I'm going to teach you the art of delegation and how to do it the smart way. We'll start off by auditing your time, finding low leverage high frequency tasks, and get you on track to delegating and outsourcing something small first to learn the skill.

0:00.0 | I just can't delegate. No one can do it like I can do it. But the truth is I wasn't delegating. |
0:04.3 | I was trying to clone myself. Delegation is not that. Delegation is about buying back your time, |
0:10.1 | not about finding a unicorn who is you, who thinks like you and acts exactly like you. |
0:16.7 | What's up, guys? Welcome back to the podcast. Today I'm talking to you about delegation and how it really is not that hard. When it feels really hard, it's because you're doing it wrong. And I have such a fond place in my heart talking about delegation because it is where I got stuck in business. It was the hardest thing for me to overcome. It's the reason my revenue |
0:37.8 | saved the same for four years. So I'm just so passionate about this. So I'll start here. |
0:43.6 | You know what is funny. Entrepreneurs, they love to say, you know, I just can't delegate. Nobody can do |
0:48.7 | it like I can do it. Boy, was I the poster child for that. But typically, that's the exact |
0:53.4 | reason you are stuck. |
0:55.5 | Delegation isn't hard if you do it right. It's hard when you skip steps, when you hire in the wrong order, |
0:59.9 | when you think about delegation as cloning yourself rather than trying to lead others. |
1:05.1 | And like I said, I learned this the hard way I'll share that story with you. So my promise to you, |
1:08.9 | by the end of this episode, you will know exactly how to delegate in a way that actually works without trying to just replicate yourself and doing it wrong. So you can actually grow your business. You can free up your time and you can stay in your zone of genius. So if you're already nodding along, if you're thinking, man, this is great. I can use this? Or if you've listened to past episodes we've given you value |

1:38.6 | really feel generous send it to a friend that could use this I'd so appreciate it so when I first |
1:43.6 | made my first hire in my online |
1:45.4 | fitness coaching business, I approached all of it completely backwards. So instead of auditing my |
1:50.2 | time, figuring out what I could delegate easily, my brain went, okay, you know, I spend 75% of my |
1:55.9 | time on coaching. So I need someone who coaches just like me, which basically means like I need a carbon |
2:01.9 | copy of myself. So I hired someone and I'm, I hate to admit this, but I just, I sucked back then. |
2:07.4 | I didn't know what I didn't know. I hired someone. I had them actually write ghost emails as |
2:11.3 | me. I expected them to think like me, talk like me, coach like me. And surprise, that strategy |
