We delegate on a daily basis and may not even be aware of it, forms of delegation include:

• Hiring Babysitters
• Ordering Fast Food
• Using a Dry Cleaner
• Hiring Roofers, Builders or Landscapers

The list could go on and on, but I think you get the picture.

I came across an online business coach who coaches millionaire business owners (this lady knows her stuff!) anyways, there were some things that she said that really stood out to me when it comes to delegating, especially speaking to 6-figure business owners who feel they can’t afford to delegate.

Here’s what I gleamed from the video:

1. Successful delegation creates leverage in your time and business, which increases your income.
2. If you don’t delegate on a regular basis, your income can’t grow.
3. You need systems and checklists in place in order to keep your team (and yourself) organized and functioning properly.

Here’s the eye-opening part of her lecture that I think will be helpful to you, as it has for me and my business:

Write down what you spend your working time on each day, do this for about 3 days. Pay special attention to the following:

• Are you scheduling clients? (enter that amount of time here)
• Are you on coaching calls?
• Are you printing your daily/weekly agendas?
• Are you actively seeking interviews, speaking engagements or other publicity opportunities?

Now she suggests to add a dollar value to each task you listed! So if you charge $495 per hour on a coaching call, you’ll place that value next to that task. Let me tell you, I can see where I am losing money on tasks that I could easily outsource to someone else for around $45.00 per hour.

At the end of your day, are you able to see where you are actually costing your business money doing tasks that should be delegated to someone else, so you can spend that time on an income generating activity?

Day 6: Business Advertising that Works?

Not all advertising comes in the form of banners, flash ads or yellow page inserts. Let’s think outside of the “advertising block” for just a moment. Did you know that article marketing IS a way of advertising? Advertising that is mostly free, except that it costs you time.

They will begin to see you as someone that they can trust.  Now what other type of advertising will show you as a possible expert in your expertise?

Day 4: Get Me Exposed!

Once your article is published, it can easily be seen by thousands of people around the globe.  Make sure you include a “call to action” in your author bio area, at the end of each article. This “call to action” should specifically state that you want your potential client to visit your website.

Having your website visited by thousands? Now that’s exposure!
