Are you confused?
I was working with a member of my Business Mastery Advisory Board on some issues about her business and inconsistent attendance at her board meetings.
As we talked it became apparent to both of us that we did not know what success met to this individual.
Her conscious mind wanted more money. She associated having more money as a way of having to work less so she could spend more time with her daughter.
Her subconscious mind was telling her that the more you work the less time you will have to spend with your daughter.
So she would work really hard and build a book of business then drop out of sight for a while wonder how she got so busy. What we came to understand was that she had a hard time delegating because of some situations that occurred in her past so she felt she had to do everything herself.
As a result of this discussion we did two things that got her focused and clear. The first was to create a delegation process so she felt comfortable. Many people confuse delegation with abdication. Delegation is knowing the who, what, where, when, and why of the delegation process so there is no confusion. Abdication is delegation without follow through.
The second thing we did is help her prioritize what she needed to work on and what could be delegated. Two months after this discussion we talked and her stress level has dropped, her work load has dropped but she has more business.
The big benefit to her in being involved in the Business Mastery Advisory Board is that she had someone to hold her accountable. Through this accountability process she has made major changes in her life and business.

Good Day. Vegetarianism is harmless enough, though it is apt to fill a man with wind and self-righteousness.
