If you're like me, you hold onto tasks that should be delegated because we tell ourselves that if we don't do it ourselves, it won't be done right. For a long time I operated that way—I thought my standards were higher than anyone else's, and if I handed something off, it would come back wrong and I'd have to fix it anyway. In this episode, I explore how this belief wasn't really about quality—it was about control and perfectionism, and it stalled my momentum and at times kept me stuck. I share how I began to realize that holding onto tasks because I thought no one else could do them right wasn't a strength—it was a limitation. I was trading my time for tasks that someone else could handle, and I was preventing myself from focusing on the things only I could do or the things that I could do well. The question isn't "Can someone else do this as well as I can?"—the question is "Does this require my attention or am I better allocated somewhere else?"
