As a small business owner of a six month old company, I agree. I’ve been checking my blind spots while focusing on the road ahead. -Matt

Thanks, Katherine, and glad you liked the post. I agree. It’s easy to get caught up in perfectionism, and I think for most business owners, we look at our businesses as a reflection of ourselves, so if something isn’t done to our normal standards, we think of it as a personal failure. There comes a point (if we ever hope to build thriving and successful businesses) where we have to be okay with less than perfect and for minor things to give way to what really counts.

Thanks for commenting!

This post really hits the nail on the head. It can be so easy when you are running a business to get tunnel visioned. it’s only when I started delegating admin work to a virtual assistant did I start to think more clearly about how I could take my business from just paying the bills to actually being successful.

I think people see delegation as more hassle because of training time and cost. The fear that the work won’t be done exactly as you would do it holds you back. But everything doesn’t have to be done perfectly it just needs to get done!
