Are you a people pleaser?

Do you take on more than you can handle? Or would you like a way to focus on your work without becoming distracted by other people’s priorities?

Productive entrepreneurs and executives make smart decisions about how to spend their time, energy and resources. They also know to what to turn down, and how to do it.

Activities You Can Delegate

Management consultant and author Peter Drucker said, “You can’t build on weakness.”

Instead, he recommended focusing on one’s strengths.

For example, you might have excellent copywriting skills and be able to sell your products and services via creating sales pages, but you struggle with designing visual elements for these pages.

Say no to spending hours taking Photoshop tutorials or trying to improve your design skills.

Instead, focus on copywriting, outsource design work to a third-party using a site like UpWork and save time self-editing using tools like Grammarly.

Alternatively, if you work within a larger business, you might excel at data analysis but struggle at presenting information in a visually appealing way.
