EP438: Tonya Herb - Turning Failure To Fuel: Why You Should Always Try Again

“You’re meant to lead the way and if your plate is so
full that you’re only doing things halfway, and not feeling
really good about the job you’re doing, and how you can impact
others, we need to really take a holistic look at what’s going
on.”
-Tonya Herb


When our cars break down, we seek out a mechanic. We visit the
doctor when we are sick. Yet in our businesses, we feel pressure
to see to every single element of business activity. Running a
business this way can only ever have one outcome: failure.


It is not possible to do everything that needs to be done well
enough that the edges don’t start to fray. From there, it's only
a matter of time before everything we’ve worked so hard for,
unravels completely. But it doesn’t have to be this way. You can
learn to delegate and share the load with others. People that
fill and compliment your gaps, freeing you to focus on the things
you love the most.
