Episode description

People tell me they are amazed at what I manage to achieve in a day. That I manage to get my message out and share my knowledge and still run two businesses … the list goes on. 

But the reality is I’ve really had to wind back to simple basics over the past few months. 

As I’ve gotten busier and my businesses have shifted and changed, I’ve been drowning a little. What previously seemed so simple to stay consistent with, has become a struggle. 

Little things … Like doing a live stream and ensuring it ends up in all the places or putting out blog posts, or regularly keeping the podcast updated.  Each task on its own takes very little time. But when I fall behind, it snowballs like you wouldn’t believe it!  

And don’t even get me started on my email inbox!  So, at last, I’m doing something about it!  

Tomorrow my new virtual assistant starts her work trial with me.  

This has been months in the making, because I was too busy to put together a job description for the agency to recruit from! But recruiting is done, selection has been made, and Lenie starts tomorrow!  

I’m always encouraging my mentoring clients to delegate the tasks that contribute to them feeling snowed under, so I’m glad I can finally come clean that I’ve put my money where my mouth is!  

Sometimes we all need to take time to stop and focus on that ONE thing that will act as our life preserver when we feel like we’re drowning. For me it was getting that job description done. For you it might be hiring that cleaner. Or putting out that recruitment ad.  

It doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be done. Right?  

So, here’s to delegating and being honest with ourselves when we feel ourselves drowning just a little.  

Get yourself a life preserver before you really are in over your head!  

Much love, Tess x
