Transcripts:

In this module we are talking about mindset because everything starts within the mind. That is why we found what motivates you, what your why is. Then we talked about your current situation and where you want to go and how to get you there. And trust me, I get it, it can get extremely overwhelming. When I did the first few exercises I, myself, was overwhelmed. I knew what I wanted now and how I was going to get it but, that list of all those tasks that I need to accomplish to have the year I want to have. Man, it kind of made me scared that is why I felt that we really need to have a conversation about delegation.I know for some of you this is going to be a part-time career which is totally fine and normal. But, you are going to get so overwhelmed so quickly and virtually overwork yourself if you do not learn how to leverage out task. 

When I started this course I was running my real estate business which is helping people buy and sale, working with investing clients, working on joint- ventures and trying to live a balanced healthy life, running my social media, building my courses, answering emails, fielding phone calls, all of it I was trying to do at once and I was overworking myself and was becoming exhausted to where I couldn’t even think straight. I would actually get sick my body would shut down and would get a cold because that was the only time I would allow myself to rest. Finally, I took my own advice it is time to leverage out some task. What are the things that only I can do and what are some things that other people could do for me. 

Now, when I say delegate or leverage a task I don’t want some people to start shutting down because they don’t have the extra money or resources. There are many FREE apps that can help you to automate task. For example, if you are running a community page for one of your marketing strategies having all those post for the month per planned in facebook for the month. Or if you have to place flyers out in the area or signs out maybe you can give a high school kid a few bucks to do it for you. Hey I am notorious to using friends, siblings, nephews to do some work for me. Giving a kid $10 for placing 20 flyers out could have saved you an hour, gas, time to do whatever it is you can do like view a property. 

When I finally realized that delegation could change the duration of my life I noticed I got way more done and I didn’t necessarily miss that money I was spending. Maybe I don’t drink starbucks as much, making a little sacrifice like that can go a long way for your business. So in this exercise we are going to look at our last worksheet and look at section 4. What were some of the ways that you are going to accomplish your goals you need to make room in your calendar for them. 

Take some time to reflect on your everyday what are the things you are doing that someone else could be doing? What are some things you are doing that are not serving your? They aren’t empowering you? They are not aligned with your ideal year. Let’s start with looking at those tasks and write them down in your not-to-do-list.

On your not-to-do list worksheet you will find that there are three different labels you can give that task either delegate, automate, eliminate. So for me at the time I was overworking myself I wrote down social media, video editing, emails, phone call feilding, building course, buy + sell clients. 

When it came to social media I knew it was vital for the world we live in and what I am trying to accomplish so, I decided to go ahead and delegate it out. I did not start off by giving it over to a company I found a need in my family. My sister needs a part-time hustle so I hired her to help out. That is what worked for me but it may not work for you and that is okay there are many automated apps for social media that will post content for you. 

For video editing I had to delegate that to a professional I knew I couldn’t finish the editing amongst everything else I am trying to do and keep my sanity.

Emails. I hate emails I thought about eliminating them but I can’t that is just the way that we all communicate now so I had to automate them. I would only send the important emails to one folder and that is the folder that I would check each day. I wouldn't deep dive in my emails because it is a trap for me. 

Phone call feilding. Man, our phone can be our worse enemy at times so I had to delegate it. 

Building a Course. When I was at the beginning stages of building my course I wanted to host it on my own website but then I was like nnnooo that is a lot of work so, I delegated that and found a website that had it all set up for me aka teachable. 

Buy and Sale Clients. Helping people buy and sell residential property was for a moment a big part of my business however I never enjoyed it at all. So when it started to get in the way of my productivity, I decided to eliminate it. Now, some of you may be thinking what you eliminated a part of your income and yes I did. It was not apart of my ideal one year so, I had to do what is necessary. 

Once you have decided what you can delegate, automate and eliminate it is time to think of the top 3 actions you do that moves your needle. What are the 3 things that give you so much joy and you wouldn’t mind doing them everyday. For me that is educating people of the power of investing, helping others find their inner greatness and connecting with powerful people. 

What are the top 3 things for you? Write them down in your worksheet.

Then ask yourself what are the Top 3 things I should be eliminating from my life? These are the things that do not serve you at all. When you think of these task your whole body aches and you have the hardest time getting around to doing them. For me it was working with buy and sell clients, having meaningless conversations and doing the dishes. Man washing dishes is not fun at all, I will literally wait until I have no more plates, bowls, silverware to use and then I move over to my tupperware and use measuring cups for spoons. I hate washing dishes, it needs to be eliminated. 

So, now I ask you what are the 3 things in your life that need to be eliminated so that you can have the best and most productive year yet. Is it a relationship needs to be removed from your life, is it dishes like me, is it an income source that doesn’t bring your joy? Whatever it is you write them down on your worksheet.
