I did everything myself for two years until I hit a wall. Here's the reframe that changed how I think about delegation and 3 things to try if you're struggling to let go.
This is fantastic. Exactly what I struggle with - thank you for this way to look at the problem as well as steps towards how to work through it effectively!
A great one Ashley! Cheers to you for recognizing that delegation leads to growth and more space!
I love delegating to other people who can do something better than me! When I started doing bigger photo productions, I knew I would outsource styling AND retouching. A lot of photographers gasp at the idea of outsourcing retouching, but for me it was an executive move and non negotiable.
It made sense to outsource something that while I knew how to do it, there were professionals who could do it faster and better than me. All I needed to do was create the container so they knew how to do it the way I needed it.
I built the pricing in the budget and timing in the scope. It allowed me to manage multiple projects at one time and do more client management.
If I decide to start another business/consulting I’d do the same thing.
