Biggest Lie You Tell Yourself and The Real Truth
You tell yourself you can stop at any time: when I get this big order out, when this holiday is over, when things slow down. Isn’t there always just another reason to be busy?
Time is one of our most valuable assets, yet most entrepreneurs say they don’t have enough of it. When clients tell me they “don’t have the time” to create systems, hire and train help, or even take good care of themselves, I pose this simple, yet loaded question: Is that really, really true? “Of course,” they demand. Yet by the end of the session we have found a way to make time; there is always time for the important things if you run your business and life effectively. To me, I don’t have time is the biggest lie we can tell ourselves. And, it’s a lie that can put you out of business.
I know, I know, you’re probably struggling with at least one of these thoughts right now.
Here are the first steps of this “letting go” process. Again, I’m not saying it will be easy. What I am saying is that to experience the freedom that is so critical to your happiness, this is what you must do. You will never look back!
1. Determine what tasks are non-entrepreneurial and make a list. By non-entrepreneurial I mean things that an employee or contractor can do: bookkeeping, assembly and shipping, customer service, inventory tracking, website maintenance, cold-calling, and so on.
