How to Delegate: Why Are You Doing Everything Yourself?

Guest post by Ali Brown

One problem I often see with solo professionals is that their businesses aren’t growing because they’re simply not making enough time to do it! 

It’s not that they don’t understand the value of those efforts, or they don’t WANT to make the time. It’s that they’re simply trying to do too much by themselves. They’re so busy running their business that they’re not working ON their business.

Are You Spending All Your Time on the Little Stuff?

Owning your own business requires wearing a lot of hats. But it seems that when many people leave their jobs to “go solo,” they think they must work completely solo as well. They insist on doing everything themselves — even tasks they know darn well they’re not good at.

Pretty soon they’re running around like that proverbial headless chicken. Read more

3 ‘A-Ha’ Success Principles That Have Reshaped My Business by Alexandria K. Brown (guest)

Over the past three years I’ve immersed myself in learning. Because my business is marketing, I have mostly attended and spoken at marketing seminars. But I also make time to attend seminars and listen to audio programs on personal development as well.

Why?

You should actually work harder on yourself than you do on your business (or job). I first learned that from Jim Rohn, whom some call the father of personal development. Some call him America’s foremost business philosopher. I just call him brilliant. (Jim was one of Tony Robbins’ first mentors, too.)

There are three success principles I learned over the past year that I wanted to share with you. I call them my "a-has" because they put my attention on areas I’d never thought of. And following these guidelines has helped me skyrocket my business. Read more
