Utilizing a Team to Grow Your Business my Interview with Melanie Benson Strick [Podcast]

This interview was so powerful that I had to take notes.  I am sharing with you some key points that I received from her interview.

1. Get It Off Your Plate

The more less you have on your plate, the more you can focus on doing what you love.  Melanie’s motto is, “If someone can do it better than you, get it off your plate.”  Now this is not to say you are not capable of doing the same tasks, but if someone can do it faster and cheaper then it makes more sense.

2. Get Out of Overwhelm

Overwhelm, as Melanie describes it is, “an innovative strategy that we use when too many things come at us.” I like that, because it’s true.  We tend to figure the more opportunities we have, the better we will become in our business financially.

3. Simple & Order

Two tips Melanie describes as, “Doing the right things in the right order, to get the right results.”

4. Reward Results over Ideas

More coaches get excited about the idea instead of the result.  I asked Melanie what her response would be to a creative Entrepreneur that has some great ideas.

Here is what she would ask them:

What is the value?

How much time?

What is the opportunity cost?

So if you are thinking of starting a new venture or project, answering those questions will give you some insight as to whether you should proceed.

There was so much value provided in this interview, these are just a few of the notes I was able to jot down.
