Work 'on' your business, not just 'in' it.

Doing more with less is a reality many of us face these days - budget cuts, resource issues - there are lots of reasons why we all have to work harder. But if you find yourself working 12 hour days because you don't think anyone else can do the job quite as well as you - you might have a problem delegating!

As a business owner, I'm realizing by the day how critical it is to delegate. I need to spend my time work 'on' the business ... not just 'in' it. At least once a week I have to take a step back; to focus on the company direction, strategy on where we're going, and goals on how we'll get there. I have to trust that people who work with me have the skills to support the goals - while create and develpop our business.

If you're finding it difficult to keep up at work - keep in mind that you can't possibly do everything by yourself!

Delegation could be your key to success - and your companies!
