How to Delegate the right way

Delegate the right way Agnese Rudzate productivity strategist mentor coach

Stop feeling guilty and start trusting others.

I’ve been there myself. I felt like I don’t deserve to even have things that I could potentially delegate or outsource because I thought that it would make me less of an achiever. My mind said that I should be able to do all this by myself, but my brain new that it will lead to constant overwhelm and overwork. 

Delegation can take many different forms, and each option depends on your business and your needs.

The two most common ways are to hire an employee or outsource to an independent contractor such as a virtual assistant.

To avoid my trial and error along the way I want to introduce you to a couple of points to take into consideration when planning to delegate and help you to figure out what is best to outsource.

Why delegate?

By delegating you’re not only giving yourself time to focus on your most vital business activities, but you’re alleviating some of the pressure of always doing everything yourself.

The big starting point is TRUST.

Delegation requires trust and that is something that for many women doesn’t come naturally. Plus it is even harder to build trust when you’re overloaded already. And to be sure that your money is well spent (because you are paying to whoever is completing your delegated tasks), you need to understand the technicalities of those tasks.

To be confident in your delegating decisions, there are a couple key elements to delegate the right way

  1. What to delegate? 

Remember that you are paying for this, so make sure to delegate important, well-defined tasks that are bringing results. 

      • Let’s be honest – you are not a genius at everything. The good news – you don’t have to be. There are so many people other ready to help, dive deep, and really make it for, all you need is trust in them. So first take a look at your business processes and notice what doesn’t bring you joy. No one loves every task equally, and if there are things you find yourself avoiding because you just don’t like doing them, it could be something you could delegate.
      • Things that can’t be automated. Anything repetitive can be automated, which saves not only time but also money. There is no pint on waisting someone else’s time and your money on things that you can give to an internet-robot helper. If technologies scare you, you’re not alone, but the good news is that everything is figuroutable as Marie Forleo states.
      • Things that can’t be eliminated. This might sound scary but is crucial to greater success in time freedom and business profits. Did I already mention that you are wasting your money and someone else’s’ time by delegating unimportant tasks that doesn’t bring real results? Not everything is important, not everything needs your personal attention and not everything is supposed to be on your shoulders. Take some weight off by clearing your business activities from unimportant tasks.

2.  Whom to delegate?

You might already have a small team or at least a Virtual Assistant. What to keep in mind here is that each team member has different strengths. By learning those along with weaknesses will highly increase their work efficiency and quality. You want for them to perform their best because this is your business we are talking about. 

At the end of the day, you and your team are the ones building your business. I probably don’t have to remind you that it is crucial to choose the right team. Be specific in your requirements when hiring, ask for a specific skill set to be sure they will meet the requirements for the job to be done smoothly.

3. How to Delegate?

Crystal Clear Communication is key here. I’m convinced most people to want to do a good job, but they may need to know what you consider to be a job well done. This means clearly articulating exact steps from start to finish and explaining what are your expectations as far as each step of the process. If you can get clear on that, preferably in writing, then you can give them something to look out for if they have questions. A face-to-face explanation is great, but write directions can hilly save your time and misunderstandings.

Now, are you ready to delegate?

Let me know down below what obstacles you have had to overcome before delegating?

And I would love to hear what are you most likely to delegate or outsource in your business?

Here’s to taking charge of our time and getting clear on our strength to be able to delegate areas of weaknesses.

Are you scared of working LESS?

Working less blog post Agnese Rudzate productivity strategist

Can you really earn more when working less?

I’m not the only one who has been conditioned to think that the harder I work the more money I will make; the harder I work, the more successful I will be; the harder I work, the more worthy I will be; the harder I work, the more appreciated I will be and so on….

I have to admit that I have actually been working HARD...

… working hard on changing my believes in all the above. Still in the process of that and I have to say, it’s quite challenging especially when they lurk their ugly head from people around.

But I get it.

We believe that working less will somehow minimize our success, our worth, and our deserving for better.

This is what we keep hearing:

“What comes easy, won’t last.”

“Hard work pays off.”

“Power means happiness; power means hard work and sacrifice.” – Beyonce Knowles

“We live in the kind of society where, in almost all cases, hard work is rewarded.” – Neil deGrasse Tyson

“There is no substitute for hard work, 23 or 24 hours a day. And there is no substitute for patience and acceptance.” – Cesar Chavez

 “Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.” – Peter Drucker

When we read these famous people telling us that hard work equals success, it’s hard to believe the opposite, right?

Starting your own business takes time, patience, sacrifices, energy, and endless motivation. All that is hard work. BUT now when you’re couple years in your business with constant income flow, shouldn’t it be the time to actually be able to enjoy the results?

It opens endless possibilities, in fact, there are many successful people who have proven that fewer working hours have worked in their favor by not only giving well deserved time freedom but also a significant increase in profits. Here are a few examples.

  • Entrepreneur Timothy Ferriss said he made more money working four hours per week than he did from working 80. In his book The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich, Timothy wrote that he was able to go from making $40,000 per year and working 80 hours per week to making $40,000 per month and working four hours per week.

 

  • Investor Sam Dogen said that at the beginning of his career he was working 70+ hours per week, but he retired at the age of 34, because he’s been saving and investing ever since he got his first job.

Even the whole companies have seen crazy income boost by applying fewer working hours:

Their example only shows that everything is possible with the right mindset, strategy, and plan. Don’t exhaust yourself thinking that you will rest later or have some family time during the weekend only to realize that your to-do list needs finishing.

Search for answers, seek advice and you will find that it is also possible for you to work fewer hours without sacrificing well-built success.

If you are ready to bring better structure, systems, management and build time freedom for yourself, book your free call with me and lets talk strategy:

Otherwise, please know that you can always write me a quick note, short email (or a long one, I really don’t mind) if you have any concerns, questions, or need a little guidance in reducing the workload. Stop trying to figure it all out on your own, world is full of experts that are willing to guide you 🙂

To more time freedom and thriving businesses!

[VIDEO] Eliminate before you delegate

Eliminate before Deligate video blog Agnese Rudzate productivity coach for business owners

By delegating unimportant tasks you waste your money + someone else’s time.

This simple action will set you free from unnecessary, unimportant and badly-defined tasks that shouldn’t be done in the first place, because they not only waste your time, but also your money.

 

If you have ever been given weird tasks, unimportant work, illogical assignments, you understand when I say that it’s not fun, productive or motivating. Quite the opposite – boring and complete waste of your time, knowledge and experience that could be used to bring real tangible results to the company instead.

As a leader it’s your job to show you know better. Be sure to use delegation to grow your business rather than as excuse to create more movement without clear results.

Watch my video where I talk about the importance of eliminating before delegating.

How about you? Are you assigning important useful work that not only saves you time, money, but also brings results?

I would love to hear your experience with delegation and how it has affected your business profits and time freedom?

To wise choices!
