Whether you are a solo entrepreneur or small business owner with a number of employees, plan to delegate. The solo entrepreneur may not have the funds to hire a full time staffer. Consider a part-time employee, contract employee or intern to help with specific tasks. Free your time from mundane activities, so you can concentrate on delivering a quality product or service, as well as making those all important sales. When you are running a business, you have to depend on other people to handle some of the task you don't have time to do yourself.
Delegation is one of the toughest jobs to learn.
Entrepreneurs are take charge individuals. Beware of such words. If all you had to do was that one item, chances are you could do it better yourself. It takes discipline to let go of tasks both simple and complex. Consider delegation as part of your overall plan for the business, even the owner needs a break.
