I've Let Go... Now What?

posted by jimharshaw on December 27, 2009, 11:22am

Ok.  So you've let go.  Nice work.  Before you grab on to mommy's leg again let's think....

  1. What are the 3 tasks that I need to get done but rarely do.  They're important but not urgent (hint: marketing?)  Write them down.
  2. Write one hundred times: "They will get done but maybe not as good as if I had done them and that's ok"
  3. Ask people for help.  (start with your parents and alumni then try getting a business teacher to ask for an intern to help you)

When (not if) you are successful with this be sure to let me know how it went.

Let Go Already!

You're afraid to let go.  I know.  I was there once.  You're afraid to let go of everything that you control.  Maybe because if you ask someone else to do it then it won't get done.  Or it will be done to a lesser quality than you would have done it.  Or maybe they'll deep down you believe that someone else will get the credit.  

1)  If you're not letting go is the cause that things don't get done then guess who loses....

2)  Let go by placing it in someone elses caring hands.  They'll get it done.  Don't worry... it will be good enough.

3)  And yes, you'll still get the credit.

Let go.  You'll be glad you did.
