Letting Go

4th May 2017

No doubt I have written about this on many occasions before, but it is something which is an issue for so many business owners, and it makes such a difference when they finally start to let go.

I was recently with one of my clients, a husband and wife business, with one other employee, and the husband was busy complaining that not only did he do everything on the sales front, but he had to do things which he expected his wife to do as well. The trouble is that because he is a classic business owner who wants to keep control, and because he was often in the car between sales meetings he would call his wife to check on her and his employee sometimes 5 or more times a day. His wife pointed out that whilst this was not eating into his time because he was in the car, it was taking probably an hour or more out of her time, and that was a large part of her reason for not being able to do the tasks which were her responsibility.

We are now working on stopping him from making disruptive calls, and getting him to focus on the key things he should be doing, whilst trusting his wife and employee to get on without interrupting them.

If you are a business owner who is wary of letting go, because your team “can’t” do what you have charged them with, ask yourself is it really them or is it you that is the problem?

If it is you, and you don’t know how to change, why not get a business coach to help you to “let it go”.
