I use to love working, moving alone. I made good money that way. I didn’t have to rely on anyone.
And the thing is when you’re good at what you do you get called often to do it.
And many of us who are called to serve enjoy an abundance of “being-needed”.
I was working on dream projects, it was great! Unfortunately being a lone wolf was leading me almost to dislike the thing Im supposed to not get tired of; a consequence of being overwhelmed.
So I entertained the idea of spending less time on the sewing machine and more time recruiting people. These would be people I can direct and can take direction well. People that can see the same as I can, that can take a vision, run with it, and give acceptable results. People as good as me of even better; people who are experts at a one thing, and strategically stick them where the machine needed to be greased the most. Along the process I’d groom the team members who have leadership traits to be managers. I wanted to remove myself as much as I can while creating a team that can also run on its own. I didn’t see the point of working myself to d&ath while accomplishing what only one person with 24h is limited to. I also wanted to bless others with opportunities because I’ve been blessed with plenty and blessings are things you pass along.
It worked! Suddenly there no such thing as too much work or “overwhelmed”. I made more money I had more time for more work. I got others paid and to be part of something that’ll be huge in the future, i helped more people than I did business I think. And that part has always been very important to me. As said, that’s the underlying point of this whole thing.
