We can't do everything ourselves.
If you're a small business owner, you probably can relate to this. (Even if you're not, this topic is pretty universal.)
Recently, I was on my way to an event. Truthfully, this would have been a great networking opportunity. The event was about an hour from where I live.
I started driving to that event, and about 4 miles into it, I suddenly realized something.
I HAVE TOO MUCH WORK TO DO!
Now, this event is well attended, and I knew exactly what I wanted to get from that event. Plus, it is run by someone who does a great job running it. She always has great ideas.
I REALLY wanted to go there!
...but I realized I couldn't. *sad face*
It occurred to me that I need someone who can do some work while I attend events or attend some of these events for me...AND represent me well.
I started thinking, "How many other things do I wish I could do but can't...just because I cannot be in two places at once?"
Similarly, when we have a few things that are JUST as urgent AND important, we can only work on ONE at a time, even when BOTH need our immediate attention.
How do we handle those situations?
When we only have ourselves, we have to choose, and we will choose the wrong one--EVERY TIME. If we chose the other one, IT would be wrong, too, because both things needed our attention.
We need a team to help us with the AMOUNT of work, but we also need a team to help us with doing urgent or important things simultaneously.
We need to build a team.
