CLONE YOURSELF

One of the key distinctions between creating your own job
and building a business is the ability to train other people
to do your work for you.
Most professionals run their "practice" as a small business
for tax and accounting reasons, but in fact they have a job
they created for themselves. They may enjoy not working for
a corporation, but they still have to show up and do the
work in order to get paid.
Smart professionals, however, train others to do much of
what they used to do themselves. Attorneys use legal
assistants, physicians use PA’s, and the most successful
real-estate sales professional I coach has a personal staff
of 4 people who work for her, not for her employer. In many
cases, her staff can close sales even if she is on vacation.
Her commissions continue while she is on the beach!
Successful business people learn to delegate. They hire
experts who can strengthen and diversify the office. They
understand that training and leading a team will always be
more profitable than doing it all yourself. And, they invest
in hiring the absolute best, most experienced people they
can find, and they pay them very, very well. They know that
in the end, hiring good people doesn’t cost; it pays!
Learn to delegate, to train and lead others. The key to
building your business is almost never "doing" more; it's
hiring and supporting great people. To increase your own
success, learn the skills of leadership!
