People CAN Do It Better Than You

Summary

• Don't fall into the trap of thinking no one can do things as well as you; it's both arrogant and incorrect.
• Recognize that there are countless people who can outperform you, particularly if that's their sole focus.
• Understand that when you're spreading yourself thin across multiple roles, you're not giving each area the attention it deserves.
• Embrace the idea that specializing allows individuals to excel, and it's beneficial for your business to hire those who can dedicate full attention to a specific role.
• Accept that if someone couldn't do a job better than a fractionally committed you, it would actually be a disappointing outcome.

How To Take Action

A good way of doing more with your business is to stop trying to take on everything yourself. Understand that there are people who are great at things you're doing, but they could do them even better. This is because they'll focus on one thing, not a bunch like you might be.

So, here's what you need to do. First, make a list of all the jobs you do. Then, think about which ones someone else could do. Don't just pick any person. Choose someone who loves that job. This means they'll probably do an awesome job because it's their main thing.

Next, give those jobs to the right people. Trust them to do amazing work. You might worry they won't do it like you, but that's okay. It's good, even. Remember, you don't have to control everything. You can have people around you who are rockstars in their jobs. This lets you do your best work, too.

Lastly, if you give a job to someone and they aren't rocking it, don't be sad. Instead, feel proud you gave someone the chance to shine. Plus, you learn what to look for next time. But hey, when they do rock it, celebrate! You made a smart move for your business.

Remember, letting go of some control helps you and your business grow. When you focus on what you're super good at, you'll do better. And your business? It'll fly high because everyone's doing what they do best.
