How to Conquer your “Control Freak” to Increase Results
As entrepreneurs, our strengths can become our greatest weaknesses. By nature we are fast paced, highly creative risk takers. But when it comes to building a team, it’s like forcing us to take a nap at 10:00am. It’s just not our natural way of doing things. The most important aspect of managing people (or in the virtual team model, their deliverables) is learning to delegate well. In my work, I’ve seen hundreds of people buy into the “myths of delegation”: Myth #1 – “No one can do the job as well as I can.” Myth #2 – “If I want it done on time, I have to do it myself.”r

The Entrepreneur’s Secret to Speedy Results
Most entrepreneurs spend the first 12 – 24 months of owning their own business feeling like they are crawling with a big anchor attached to their foot – progress seems VERY slow. The frustrating thing is that you can “see” what big success looks like but between learning what needs to be done and doing everything on a boot-strap budget (aka it’s just you trying to get everything done) – progress appears to be limping along at a snail’s gate. Until you learn to optimize. Optimizing is the ability to make the business you’ve worked so hard to build work ten times better.

The last few weeks I've been testing a new high performance technique.
