YOUR TEAM• Do not feel like you are alone! You have tons of people to

help you!• You have a team for a reason! Ask them for help! • They are available to help you reach your goals and you

are there to help them as well!

Example: For A to happen, W, X, Y, and Z must be completed. It takes a lot to do W alone, so delegate X, Y, and Z to at least two others. Set a deadline for them and send reminders of their tasks.

“Delegating work works, providing the one delegating works, too.”- Robert Half
