Summary

Before you make your next hire, listen to this episode. The first step to successful delegation is understanding first where your time is going. Much like counting macros, time is no different when it comes to achieving your business goals. I want to share what we have our IFCA students do to assess their time, what order of operations looks like with delegation, what to delegate first as a coach, and more!

The fastest way to buy back your time usually isn't another higher. It's starting here with

0:04.8

one week time study. Hello, hello. Welcome back to the fitness podcast or if you're new.

0:11.6

Welcome. Today I'm talking about delegating in a way that actually works because this is something

0:17.4

that I've just screwed up a lot and I want to give you a really simple,

0:21.0

simple way to start. So whether you're starting delegating for the first time, or you're like,

0:24.7

I might need to hire a new role. This is how I love people to start every single time. Every single

0:31.6

person who comes into legacy, our legacy mastermind, our more advanced program inside of IFCA,

0:39.3

we have them do this right from the jump, whether they're delegating or not, it's like a really good way to see

0:43.4

where your time is.

0:44.7

So if you feel like you are buried in tasks inside of your company, but you're still not

0:50.5

moving the needle, or you're just so overwhelmed, feeling kind of stagnant, or maybe you're

0:54.1

really overwhelmed but things are moving forward, but you're like, I know this isn't sustainable.

0:58.2

Maybe you've thought, okay, I need to hire someone or I need to hire someone else or I need another

1:02.7

tool. But the truth is, if you don't know where your time is going, you end up just delegating

1:07.6

the wrong things, wasting money and staying stuck, right? The fastest way to buy back your time usually isn't another hire. It's starting here with a one week time study. So today I'm going to walk you through exactly how to do that, how to know what to delegate first, how to make sure delegation actually works and isn't just adding more to your plate in an unnecessary way because I've been

1:27.9

there, done that, made a mistake. So in the next 15 minutes of this episode, I'm going to give

1:31.7

you my really simple time tracking setup, an order of operations to know how to delegate what's

1:37.4

for second, third, fourth, fifth, six, for where you're at in your company. I'm going to give you

1:41.9

the exact SOP template that we use, a 30, 60, 90 day wrap-up plan for new hires so that they stop creating more work for you and they actually start taking things off of your plate. So if you hear me talking through things in this episode and you're like, man, I would love those templates. I would love that time checking cheat. I would love that SOP outline. I would love that delegation scorecard. Any of the things I'm talking about. Um, DME on Instagram, DME the word time. So T IME and we'll get we'll talk about it. I'll send you the templates. Um, on Instagram, I'm Aaron Diamond Fitness without the A, DIMO and D, so just shoot that to me. I'll send it right over. So

2:17.8

diving in, starting here, I had a student recently who came to me saying like, Aaron, I am so in the weeds, but I'm just, I need to hire, but I don't even know what to do. I'm just too busy to delegate that I don't even know where to start. That's a really common feelings. So what we had them do, like we do with all students in this position,

2:35.1

is we had them do a one-week time study on toggle. So what we had them do, like we do with all students in this position,
