Every once in a while,…usually if I’ve got a lot going on…I fall back into micro-manager, I-can-do-it-myself, don’t-need-any-help mode. Doesn’t work. Never really did.

So I’ll share a few tips to hopefully spare anyone else who suffers from the same malady.

Delegate. Outsource. Hire someone who’s an expert.

Stick with what you do really well. And don’t waste time trying to do something because you:

• think it’s so easy there’s no reason you can’t do it
• always wanted to do it anyway
• don’t want to spend the money.

Trust me. All you’ll accomplish is wasting time that could be spent working on billable projects. And that, in the end, is why you’re in business anyway. Isn’t it?
