Buckets & Boom Gates

Website woes and confessions in the Buckets & Boom Gates Studio with Kim White & Jill Olish. Where it started for us was very different than where we are today.

• It's really creating the best piece of content for those sets of words that are going to represent what you want to represent

• Do you want to delegate something because you want more to do?
• Knowing why you're going to delegate something will help you know where to start delegating
• Start with what's going to benefit you the most in time
• We need to also consider what's going to help us make more money

Welcome to the Buckets and Boom Gates Studio with Kim White and Jill Olish. This week's conversation in the Team Series is focused on the right, or wrong, ways to delegate. Kim shares some confessions on the wrong ways to delegate. And together Jill and Kim discuss gaining more time back for you as the owner versus spending all your time doing all the little things in your business. Keep listening to hear their own trials learning how to get support from others.

• One of the worst ways to delegate
• Assuming someone else knows what you know
• Your business owns you because you can't delegate
• Asking questions means my instructions aren't clear
• An assistant of any kind is for the purpose of delegating to them something that takes something off you as the owner's plate
• Delegating because we don't like something is a great place to start
• The hardest place to start when you start delegating
• Trying to cut the cost in the wrong place
• A team supports my calendar so that the business can run without me

So delegation to, Kim and Jill, is the key to setting things in motion. It's just knowing how to delegate and when to delegate because, without it, it's not possible to have a business that doesn't own you.

Join us next week for another episode in the Team Series.

Welcome to the Buckets and Boom Gates Studio with Kim White and Jill Olish. This week's conversation in the Team Series is focused on how someone's "want to" impacts your whole life and not just your business. Confessions and behind the scenes are a regular part of this podcast. Listen in as we spill the tea on ourselves.

• "Want To" can be damaged by many different things
• Looking for a team and it's culture
• The process we use to start a team or add onto a team
• Dating/Interviewing Scenario
• Ability to learn is tied to "want to"
• Anyone can apply for our team but Team 30, 60, & 90 spots are earned
• Showboating is not part of our culture
• Interning to learn or find a spot on the team
• Who you are serving matters
• How working together like a high school project shows your motives
• Will you be the next one they are talking about
• Character is shown in how you handle being on a team
• Facets on a team includes flexibility, skills, challenges
• Leaders have to recognize human things to decide on keeping team members
• Each member leaves a ripple effect
• Graduating a team member for good or bad reasons

Don't get this twisted about a team... Showboating, being selfish, resentful of working, and other things serving your own self is not the same as taking care of yourself so you can show up and be part of the team and help others around you. When an entrepreneur or business owner needs to delegate tasks, it is vital to build a team in the right way so you have the ability to delegate long term. Building a business that supports your life instead of one that takes your life is influenced by how you delegate.

Ready to learn to delegate? Come join us in the Groundwork Brigade Mastermind Community and see how powerful it is to build the right kind of team in the right way.
