Key Takeaways From This Episode:
Delegating and having people help you do the things you want to do is essential to the survival of all of us right now.
Stay on your lane but be focused. Lean on people who experts in their field to help you along. Give them the opportunity to help you.
Constantly ask your customers if they are happy and do more.
If people are already on board, all you need to do is show up for them.
Trust others that they will do their best and always give them the benefit of the doubt.
Do something you said you would do.
If someone says, they will do it, trust them, check on them and make them accountable. When they do it consistently, let it go and trust them completely.
Let people see your vulnerability. Give yourself a break. Done is better than perfect.
You attract people like you.
Your ego never got you anywhere, so let go of it.
