EP311: Amanda Hamilton - Delegating Your Tasks With Intention

“Once you get going, you get more and more
productive.”


-Amanda Hamilton 


Our bookkeeping businesses are our babies. We put the work in
with the hope they’ll grow healthy and strong. But sometimes this
desire can overwhelm our ability to step back, and to delegate
tasks that leave us more time to focus on the areas we really
love to work in. Don’t wait until you are burnt out to start
planning what to delegate, start small and simple and build on it
from there.
 
If your business life is task-heavy, it is not going to feel
fulfilling. Letting go of the need to handle everything yourself
is challenging, but when you start with the smaller tasks, it
gets easier to layer on more complicated ones as your faith in
those you have delegated to begins to grow.
 
Amanda Hamilton, Founder of Hamilton Raye, is this episode’s
featured guest. She specializes in connecting the right people
based on experience and personality, to free up valuable time and
energy. By creating a list of your intended priorities and
focusing on your pain points, you too can figure out the best
tasks to delegate and where your true passion in your business
lies.
