Okay.
Some people have trouble trusting others and letting go of control.
And what we say is trust should be built over time.
So don't give your bank account access on day one.
You start with more limited access and then you grant more and more access over time.
I've worked with one of my assistants for over a decade and
She has basically access to everything, but that takes a long time to build that trust.
And so you kind of go at your own pace.
You don't have to go faster than you're comfortable with, but you've got to give up some control if you want to get more leverage.
That's just part of the game.
And then I think the...
the other fundamental blocker for lots of people is like knowing what they want more of.
And you've got to have this thing that draws you into it because it's going to be activation energy.
There's going to be investment.
And so you got to have a vision for how you want your life to be better.
It's, I want more time to start a business or I want more time for my family or my kids.
And I think if you have that specific goal, then delegation is not about a task, which is kind of a level.
It's about unlocking something that's more meaningful to you.
There's nothing that's fantastic out there.
But if you go to playbooks.athena.com, we've built some of our favorite playbooks for things you can delegate.
