(upbeat music) - Hello, and welcome to the Accountability Coach podcast, where we will discuss topics, ideas, questions, and issues related to having a totally balanced and successful life. This is Anne Bakrak. Today, we're going to talk about the art of effective delegation as it relates to getting more things done. Sounds good. Good, I'm glad. Learning that delicate art of delegation usually requires a lot of practice, as you can imagine, a lot of patience. It's a fine dance of constant refinement and adjustment to find the perfect balance of effective delegation that allows you to take your business to the next level. Any successful business relies on a teen structure for growth and efficiency. While one person might be able to do a lot, it's not possible for one person to do everything. And at some point, a teen structure is necessary. Now, team members can be in the same office. Today, they can be virtual employees, or independent contractors. You have options. As you've learned, people who work with me learn to focus their time on only the highest payoff activities in order to help them reach their goals faster. So, what do these people do to accomplish these less important tasks? Well, they delegate. Many of the tasks that take up the bulk of our time are not the tasks that are pushing us towards our goals. Think about your daily routine for a minute. How would your life be improved if someone else handled these, let's call them low payoff activities, freeing up your time to take on more important matters? In an effort to maximize your time, you want to stay focused on only doing your highest payoff activities, so you might have to delegate, delay, or drop other things in order to have the highest probability of achieving your goals. The goal is for you to spend your time with the greatest efficiency. If you are not happy with the amount of time you are spending each day on your activities, reorganize, delegate, and change your calendar around until your time is spent achieving your personal and professional goals. I've heard it said, but don't know who specifically said this. Nothing is impossible if you can delegate. Make a list of the tasks that you currently handle that could be delegated to someone else. List the activity you could delegate, and who would you assign that activity to? If you do not have a real person, let's say, who could you delegate this task to? Write down the job title of a fictitious person, until which time you can delegate. Each time you are doing something, ask yourself, if this is something that you are really going to have to do yourself, or could you delegate this to someone else? You may have to help coach or train somebody, but could somebody else do what it is you're actually doing? Now if the answer is yes, add it to the list of things that can be delegated. If you can't delegate it now, for whatever reason, or at least when you have someone else to delegate to, you now will have it on a list of things that can be delegated to someone else when it can be delegated. You might even want to take a few minutes down and start creating that list right now. For more information on the art of effective delegation, feel free to go to www.accountabilitycoach.com and obtain the educational audio on this subject. Walt Disney says, if you can dream it, you can do it. Well, my hope for our time together is that you got some value and an idea or two that will help you be even more successful, personally and professionally. Review the 30-day self-study course so you can discover for yourself how to focus on your highest payoff activities that produce the biggest results in the shortest amount of time so that you can experience that feeling of true and total success and enjoy a fantastic quality of life. Aim for what you want each and every day. Until next time, make it a great day today and every day. Thanks for listening. (upbeat music) (upbeat music)
