Nature is beautiful, especially when you are in Africa. There is so much you can learn from it, right?
Well, take for the case of Bald, a type of an eagle.
At the age of thirty, she must make some tough calls.
For instance,
Whether it is wise to keep her old heavy talon or risk its flight speed.
Or, whether its super-long-curvy-nails, beautiful for a manicure but useless to catch the meal, are worth to keep.
Similarly, is it worth keep a blunt beak or to painfully knock it on the rock until it cracks open for a juvenile, shaper, and superior?
Pause for a second.
Can you sympathize with this bird’s must-make decisions? Do you feel the eerie aura of hesitance whizzing in her mind?
Well, it’s indeed a mouthful of tension in the guts of the unfortunate eagle. But at this stage of life, it’s either she dies only at thirty, or she leaves to a ripe age of eighty.
In entrepreneurship life too, we must make such overwhelming decisions. To either feel comfortable with our routines, our do-it-all and can’t-trust-no-one mentality, or look at those heavy-looking talons, curvy nails, and curvy beak and decide they must go no matter the pain.
So, no matter the cost or the pain, by letting go, you become energized. You will be able to build a thriving business. You will be able to get fresh energy and solidify your team.
Meaning, let’s say you are struggling with something like graphics and design, don’t knock your head on the wall trying to learn it. Instead, learn the art of outsourcing.
In any case, get someone with extra energy, with more skills, and more productive. A better us, just in a different way.
Meaning,
Here is how to do it
Get down with a big sheet of paper. Write down every activity that supports your dream.
Once satisfied with the list, classify each activity into three major categories as follows.
After this sorting exercise, you’ll be able to know which activities you can delegate to a team (a business team member) and which you can do all by yourself.
