And the person ends up getting involved and it doesn't save them any more time because they don't know how to learn to let go. The way we do this is we got to hand off with clarity. Define what the definition of done looks like and practice delegating because it is an art. One of my core philosophies to really get more time back to focus on my 5% is to train, don't tell.

See, if I'm telling everybody what to do, then I get stuck in this tell, check, next, doom loop of always having people relying on me to get work done. Instead, I train them on how to think this way. That's why I create this content is because it's for you and it's all the people on all my teams. When you learn to let go, you gotta be sure to train them on how you did it.

A checklist is not enough. Some people are like, I have an SOP. Not enough. Role play with them. Teach them the mental models. Think about the first principles. How do you think about this? What are the frameworks you use? If you're mad that people are in a meeting and they're not contributing to the meeting, have you ever taught them how to?

And if you don't know how to train people, the good news is there's this really powerful, expensive tool that you might've heard of called ChatGPT. It's free. Use it. Now I know, choosing one thing is scary. What if you're wrong? Here's my promise, picking something and doing as much effort and focus on it and learning and getting feedback is always the winning move.

Versus doing too many things and playing a game of whack-a-mole in the dark, it's like fighting an invisible monster. At least this way, you can eliminate things knowing they didn't work versus not knowing what's broken. Now, if you wanna go deeper on delegating, click this video and I'll see you on the other side. Thanks for listening to The Martell Method.

What separates successful people from those who try for years and never really get anywhere? Most people think it's IQ, talent, or some mix of strategy and luck. But after studying people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, the only thing that actually makes them different is speed. See, I believe that most people are on a path to be really freaking rich.

The challenge is that most of them are going so slow that they'll never get there in their lifetime. And the most successful people have learned how to make that same progress way faster. The good news is all the millionaires and billionaires I know follow the same seven steps to make progress faster. It's how I made my first million by 27 and how I do over $100 million in revenue in my 40s.
