Marcia Hoeck writes a blog called “Breakthrough Business” and she has a lot of really good common sense articles and information.
Her latest post “Are You a Victim of the “Entrepreneurial Curse”?” rang bells for me. It gives several good reasons why Entrepreneurs need to let go and delegate. In other words, outsource the things that can be outsourced so you can use your ‘boundless energy’ to be more creative in your business.
If you’d like to know what the Entrepreneurial Curse is, then make sure you pop over and read her article! And make sure you come back here to find out how you can best utilise a Virtual Assistant.

I just read the article you recommended–it was great and rang so true. Although I don’t have a home business, blogging and my other activities on the web keep me very busy. And I’d like to increase my internet presence so I can see where delegating some of the tasks I find hard and tedious (I’m not very technical) would be a great idea. Thanks for “ringing bells” for me, too!

Oh I am definitely GUILTY. I kow it and I am trying to get better at it. My problem is being of the opinion that no one can do it better than me. When it’s your baby, you want it done a certain way and getting someone to see what you see can be a problem sometimes. I really am working on it though. 🙂

Delegating is very difficult for most people, just because they feel they are loosing power by delegating. A good exercise is to build trust with your direct environment.
