Have you ever been told that to be successful in business you must at first ‘get on the tools yourself?’ Today Rob discusses why this advice can be harmful to those entrepreneurs with a big vision. Learn today why leveraging and outsourcing tasks to others can help your business grown, how hiring a project manager to complete jobs you cannot allow you to focus on income-generating tasks and why ‘getting on the tools’ can only allow you to focus on one job at a time.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Some people believe that to develop a project and be successful in your business then you need to get on the tools yourself. By this logic, you would not be able to outsource tasks unless you were fully trained in them already. This could potentially be harmful to any investment opportunities.   Often as an entrepreneur, you will believe that nobody can do the job better than you can and you will feel the need to have full control over everything in your business. However, full control often means you cannot grow, focus on your vision and building a team around you.   Learn to work smart not hard. A common problem many entrepreneurs face is that they get addicted to business. They see business and hard work as a badge of honour. You need to focus on your key result areas and income-generating tasks. Pick the tasks that are the most important and prioritise them first. Value your time and maximise the return on time invested.   You need to learn to take a step back from your business and have a helicopter view of your company. Instead of doing everything yourself, hire a project manager. If you get on the ‘tools’ yourself, you can only do one task at a time. You don’t need to have done the ‘tools’ yourself to have them as part of your business strategy.   Leveraging tasks out will allow your business to grow much quicker. There will be people who are specialised in their respective areas who can complete tasks better than you. By leveraging these tasks out to them, you will be able to build a team and a culture. If you want to go fast go alone but if you want to go far go together.   BEST MOMENTS “Be careful where you take your advice from.” “You do not need to hustle and grind for 14 hours a day for 10 years to become an overnight success” “Do not confuse being busy, with being productive.” “There is too much free advice, which is worth every penny, from people who have not been there and done it.”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
