Every business coach tells you to focus on delegating all the inessential tasks.

And fair enough time management is important. Yet taking away all those little tasks actually makes you worse at business.

If you palm all your personal and business irritations off to people who  get paid much less than you, you’re now way out of touch with 95% of  your customers, and the human race in general.

You lose your instincts to understand customers and staff.

You become golf club guy, or ashtanga yoga woman, surrounded by people just the same as you.

Embrace everyday annoyance, your new inspirational friend.
