There is no faster way to burn yourself out and put your business at risk, than to try to do everything yourself. Yes, it's your business. But you can't do everything. There are just not enough hours in a day. A better solution is to delegate some tasks to your employees. That's what you're paying them for. Here is how you get the most out of them without sacrificing what makes your business great.

Wonderful piece. I must admit, I try to hold it all on my own most of the time and I shy away from delegation. But I need to work on practicing it more as I know it will help me and others. Thanks for sharing with us.

I can't agree more Alina, doing everything yourself will only be costing you lots of time, energy and stress and as we all know, stress kills so, its always good to delegate. Thanks for sharing this with the bizsugar community.

Hi Alina,

So glad to see this post shared with the BizSugar community. I guess the bottom line is, how much of the way we want things done are we truly going to have to sacrifice in order to delegate? I know there are some members of ours who struggle with this regularly. Don't know if you're a member of the BizSugar community yet, but I'd love if you could share some thoughts with the members directly -- and maybe share a few more posts?
