In fact, many of the traits that bring success as a solopreneur - a touch of perfectionism, wanting control over the business, being 'in the weeds' on every aspect of what you do - actually make growing beyond yourself more difficult!
What got you here won't get you there.
But this is a skill set that you can learn - it doesn't have to be trial and error. And if you want to grow, you'll have to get better at this. The three biggest mistakes we see with delegation:
Not delegating at all. If you've found yourself saying "no one can do it as well as I can' or "Well, I'm used to doing it...' or 'It would be more trouble to find someone' you're often in this category.
Abdicating responsibility. This is when you just throw a problem at someone else like a hot potato.
Purgatory of micromanagement. The worst of both worlds - you barely allow yourself to delegate, and then look over the shoulder of your person as they do the work.
Instead, three things that make delegation work:
1. Choose wisely what to delegate. Spend time to decide what you can - and can't - delegate.
2. Support your people! This is where onboarding and training is so important. Make sure you're giving someone the tools they need to be successful.
3. Accountability. You need to have a metric or way to determine if it's going well! If you're just giving a task and hoping it gets done, you aren't really delegating.
We hope this helps! Leading a team is a brand new challenge for most of us, but it can be fun, rewarding and certainly vital if we ever want to grow.
