At some point you’ve heard these pieces of advice:
- Delegate everything and stay in your genius zone
- There’s only enough time in the day, be intentional and stay in your lane bro
- CEO doesn’t mean Chief of EVERYTHING Officer
I totally get it. These pieces of advice make a LOT of sense. If you are struggling to scale and break into that next level, you might have tried to apply one or more of these ideas. BUT delegation, genius zone, and figuring out what to work on first isn’t really as easy as it sounds. It’s easy to think there must be something wrong with YOU. Why is it so easy for everyone else? What are YOU doing wrong?
Nothing. No, I mean it. You aren’t doing anything wrong and there isn’t anything WRONG with you and there actually isn’t anything wrong with that advice. The only problem is that advice only works for SOME people but it doesn’t work for EVERYONE. And really all of those tips are theories and not as easy to implement. Like exactly how does one DELEGATE, stay in their lane, on top of it all. . . and waltz into their office with the right combo of Andy & Miranda?
This is the key difference. While other folks might preach the ‘get it off your plate’ mentality as the only path to success, it’s just not true.
If you are anything like my awesome clients, the ones that….
Create and publish magazines, books, and digital publications.
Lead thousands of women in membership sites.
Mentor, coach, and run high level masterminds.
Launch a podcast. Or maybe two.
Have 10K+ FB group members.
Walk into conferences and have immediate authority.
They ALL have found their genius zones and successfully hand off anything outside of it, but they didn’t start there and they certainly continue to have their pulse on all the things. . . without their finger in every pie.
My people (that’s you dear) tend to do better when they do things a different way.
My signature way of doing this is based on PROGRESS, basically everything I teach, preach, manage, and implement is a systematic way of planning for (and reaching) your goals, while we improve operational efficiency and scalability and minimize growing pains.
Why does this work for people like you?
Because instead of working off of a mile long list of have-to-dos or only working on the creative fun parts (while turning a blind eye to things like, I dunno REVENUE) , we focus on priorities based on goals, benchmarks, and milestones.
That’s why I created the VIP Intensive. I’m so over awesome people like you struggling to to manage #allthethings and keep shoving 100 days of work into 30, but never really getting anywhere with it and feeling like a complete loser because of it.
I wanted to create something that would work for MY type of people.
It’s 5 sprints with me as your progress guide. We dive deep. Gather facts and data. Set the goals. Break down the plan. And customize your 90 days to work for you and your team. We set you up to stay in your genius zone, slowly handing off those tasks you no longer want to handle and even help you build or train up team members.
If you’d like to…..
Set big fat audacious goals.
Carve out actual time to work on ‘one day projects’.
Have a team who has your back and buy in to your vision.
Feel accomplished at the end of every quarter.
Know what to work on and when.
This would be a good place to start. Listen, you can keep doing things the way you’ve been taught but I doubt much will change because you’ll never be the type of person those ways will work for.
You are in good company, I can’t do it either.
You’ll continue to….
STRUGGLE.
To diminish your dreams because you don’t have the right tactical plan.
Have work bleed over into your family time.
Beat yourself up because your brain is ALWAYS ON.
To see, feel, and ALLOW things to fall through the cracks.
But who wants that? Not when you can prioritize all the things into an actual plan. FINALLY stay in your genius zone, without blinders to what is happening within your business.
