Most people who run their own businesses are typically very good at a lot of different things.

They are good at business development, money management, widening their knowledge, gaining new skills, leading others, and more.

But do you know what many of them are not good at? Delegating work.

It is because these business owners are knowledgeable and skilled in so many different things, they attempt to handle as many areas of their business as possible all by themselves, spreading themselves too thin in the process.

In fact, I used to find the need to do everything by myself. I used to handle all my clients’ books, complete analysis, create cash flows projections, and take on so many more tasks instead of dividing them amongst my staff, because I thought I could do a better job than anyone else.

One day, I found myself behind on delivering to my clients. Out of need, I delegated some of the tasks to my staff and partners. To my surprise, everyone did an excellent job! They completed everything a lot faster than I would have and even presented the work in a better way, all because they had skills I did not.

As a business owner, you should trust your employees’ work and believe in their potential. When you do, you will have fewer piles of work on your desk and can also focus your time and energy on growing your business, as you should!
