How often do you delegate to others the opportunity to help you? Whether you need a specialized service, advice or just want to enjoy something being done for you, you can entrust others to do it. This way, you will free yourself to do what you want. Is there anything to watch out for when you delegate?  

Pitfalls:

Everyone follows their own standards. Are you trying to be a one-man show? Taking on all of the work yourself is not a solution. Have you ever been disappointed with something someone else has done for you? When you delegate to others, make sure you communicate the desired outcome. This way, they can perform up to par to your level. You can even negotiate up front an out in the event the final result does not meet your expectations. This will inspire the other party to do their absolute best. Save yourself later headaches by keeping an eye out and staying on top of things.

Solutions:

Keeping busy doing something someone else can adequately do is robbing you from the time you can be spending doing what you want. Be responsible with your time and find a replacement for anything that is not up your alley. The right people with the right specialty and tools will do a much better job than you in less time. Whatever it costs you, it will free you up to do what you love. This way, you can produce your best work in the same amount of time and give opportunities to others. By allowing others to be involved, both you and they are being enriched by creating new or improving present relationships. Delegating is clearly an efficient choice. Apply it.

Solutions:

Once a great military leader led his soldiers across a bridge to meet the enemy. He directed them to burn the bridge behind them. This way, there was no option to retreat. He told them they were going to win. They did. When you put your undivided attention and power into what you enjoy the most, your success is imminent.

Do you practice what you preach? Are you walking your talk?

Pitfalls:

They say the biggest gap is between what you know and what you do. If you feel unprepared for what you want to do and you wait instead of taking action, it will never happen. The ideal moment will never come. You can lose your chance by procrastinating. All your knowledge is there so you can apply it. It is worthless unless you use it. The only way to internalize the information you receive from the outside is to experience it. This way, you make it your own and it becomes your most powerful resource. From there, you can become even better through practicing.

Solutions:

You have your whole life to practice. Be patient and persistent. To prepare for the Olympic Games an Olympian repeats what he or she is competing in thousands of times. Every time you practice you improve and reach another level. It upgrades your energy and everyone will know it. Doc Severinsen, a famous jazz trumpet player and band leader for the Tonight Show on NBC Television in the US, once said: When I miss a day of practice, I know it. When I miss a second day of practice, the band knows it. But if I miss a third day of practice, the whole audience knows it. Spiritually, it is important to practice being loyal to yourself first! After awhile, it will be so effortless, it will become second nature and you will be able to do it in your sleep. It is worth it. Go practice.
