A closer look
Many owners say no one does it as well as they do. Often true at first, but with training others get close enough, and the owner gains time for growth.
Where to start
List everything you did last week and mark what someone else could do.
An example
An owner delegated scheduling to an office manager. He gained ten hours a week for sales and planning.
Common mistakes
Delegating without training, taking tasks back and micromanaging.
What to track
Track hours the owner spends on delegated tasks.
