Usable insights
- Mindset is 98% of the battle – most bottlenecks in business start with the beliefs of owners about what is possible and what they ‘have to do’ themselves.
- Letting go through life can be forced – don’t wait for a crisis to test the sustainability of your company; Plan, Delegeer and now build systems.
- Real follow -up planning is about protecting your team and the inheritance of your company, not just those who ever ‘take over’.
- Simple, recurring assessments (every 1-2 years) are better than overwhelming, one-off attempts for estate planning; Strive for progress, not in perfection.
- Do not assume that family wants to take over the leaders of teams and enable them and make buy-in/ownership options carefully.
- Delegation is a growth motor: use the $ 10,000 activity graph to identify what you should do and enable your team to accept the rest.
- A four -week holiday is a test – and a tool – for building a company that lasts. Start with small steps, stop one day and then build up.
- Let your team possess the outcome when you have the outcome – do not take the task back or do not undermine their growth.
