There are two types of people in business. Some work harder, and another category works smarter. The hard-working business owner in this context is not only the blood of a business but also the bones. This is the kind who will do all the tasks of accounting, production, marketing, sales, and every detail of a business. These business owners are prone to burnout, depression, and stress because they spend long hours on the business at the expense of their personal care. They will sleep fewer hours and never have vacations. They will win their businesses but lose both their family and their sanity. The more they work, the more they lose.
The other group of entrepreneurs prioritizes working smart. They know how to leverage other people’s resources and expertise to get things done. One of the best words in their vocabulary is delegation and teamwork. Delegation involves outsourcing skills and paying someone to do tasks on your behalf at a small cost. Though the earnings may not be that great, it gives them the freedom to develop personally because they know that they are the most valuable assets to the future of their businesses.
Join the conversation with your host, Tommy, as he shares why doing everything in your business is a recipe for its death. Having personally struggled through this, Tommy shares how he bounced back, the valuable lessons he learned, and how you can reclaim your life back from the business you own. Apart from the delegation, learn other ways to replace working hard with working smart and unlock the full potential of your business.
