The Management Paradox
"The more I know myself the more I can achieve for the company." - or something similar for those with a lesser mercenary affiliation.
I, thats me, can do it all. I can write, I can plan, write up press releases and market reports and blah blah buh fuckin blah.
I can spend all my time doing those things. The truth is that there are better people out there for doing them. Am I mad? Do I care?
Hell No!
I want to hire them to take up my slack. Because what I am good at, I can do. The things I am not so good at doing I should be hiring other people to do for me. Because if I was my own employee in charge of content creation for my domain name portfolio I would so have fired my own ass long ago.
I know what needs to be done, I can see where this company needs to go. Cutting costs by doing everything myself is like shooting my best runner in the knee because a 3 cent bullet is cheaper than $100 pair of sneakers and some gatorade.
Got it?
The more I work the less I DO.
The less I do the more work gets done.
Big trade off that takes a change in understanding to appreciate but it is a major wave of change that is influencing the rest of my life.
Took some big risks this week with finances and my cash flow for the upcoming month, but God do I feel good about it.
Only a couple sleepless nights.
And the world fills in the blanks; I have more money coming in than I could have imagined. Not that its a lot and I don't want it to make me sloppy but its amazing how risk in the right place can be rewarded.
And this is just the begining. Or ReBegining?
I have identified some of my major weakness's in regards to how I want to run my business/personal life and have somewhat compensated for those quirks.
The potential is awesome. Its hard not to get so excited when I know that most of this stuff wont show effects for months, the downside of my chosen area of income and why most people give up on me or quit all together, and yet I'm seeing things so clearly now that it is hard to deny.
