Episode 57: Who, Not How

26 minutes

Dan explains why entrepreneurs struggle with procrastination and introduces a new method he uses to implement new ideas.

Changing the thought process from “how to do this” to “who can do this” is a game-changer.

In this episode:

Peter explains using the “Who, Not How” method in his company, and why instead of creating a to-do list, he spends the year creating Impact Filters (a Strategic Coach client tool) explaining why the project is important, defining criteria for success, and then picking a point person to implement the task.

Dan explains why first-time entrepreneurs start with how — because at the beginning, there’s no one else to delegate to — but as time goes on and the company grows, this becomes a bad habit.

Peter gives an example of gaining back hundreds of hours of time, an Abundance of time, by delegating a project to his summer interns.
