Delegation is a challenge for many entrepreneurs. You either:Struggle to figure out what work to hand off.Have a ton of work but don't know how to communicate what needs to get done.Or (less talked about) even feel a little guilty about giving work to someone else...Delegation, when done right, isn't a burden—it's an opportunity to align your team with the highest-impact work.1. The Telescope Approach: Start big pictureThe first step in effective delegation isn't where you'd expect. I always tell entrepreneurs to start by zooming out—like using a telescope.A telescope can either give you a wide view of the entire night sky or zoom in on a specific planet or star. When you're thinking about delegation, start with the widest lens possible.Ask yourself:What is this person's role?What are the most important projects this month, quarter, or year?What actually matters most in the business right now?Before you get lost in the details of small tasks, take a step back and list the top three most important priorities for the business. This helps you delegate work that actually moves the needle, rather than just keeping people busy.If you already set clear quarterly goals, this gets easier—you already have the right context in place. From there, you can start focusing on what specific work needs to be assigned.2. Focus on 80%Once you have the big picture, think about what this person should spend 80% of their time on. This give you a starting context.Ask:What is this person best at?Where should they be focused?Are they currently aligned with their highest-value work?If they're already spending 80% of their time on the right things, then you're just tweaking the remaining 20%. But if their focus is off, that's where you need to start making adjustments.For example, if someone's role is to lead brand marketing, then ask: What part of brand marketing does the business need most right now? Instead of just handing them random tasks, make sure they're working on what will have the biggest impact.Delegating small, unimportant tasks effectively doesn't help if your team isn't aligned with the most important work in the first place.Communicating One last thing—these conversations don't have to feel heavy or overwhelming. A client of mine recently shared how much anxiety they felt about these discussions. But the truth is, you don't have to approach delegation conversations with a super serious tone.Yes, delegation is important, but keeping it light makes the process easier for everyone. Instead of making it feel like a high-stakes, make-or-break situation, try saying:“Hey, let's take 10 minutes to check in on this.”“I love a lot of what you're doing, I just wanna tweak one thing.”“I must not have been super clear before—let's make sure this is aligned.”This makes people more open to feedback and less defensive. The more relaxed and collaborative you make it, the more effective the conversation will be.A lot of times, when you're frustrated with a team member, the issue is actually pretty small. But in the moment, it feels like everything is wrong. They're probably doing a great job in most areas, but one small detail is off.Instead of assuming everything is a mess, take a step back and recognize what's going well. This makes the conversation with your team much more productive:Acknowledge what's working – “Hey, I love the work you're doing on X.”Identify the one thing that needs tweaking: “I think we could improve Y a little bit.”Collaborate on a solution – “How do you think we could approach this better?”This keeps the conversation positive and solution-oriented instead of turning it into a stressful critique.Here's a quick recap of how to delegate more effectively:Zoom Out First – Start with the big picture before diving into the details.Focus on the 80% – Ensure your team member is working on the right 80% of their role. Communicate Big & Small – Most issues are small; recognize what's working and adjust from there.Keep It Light – Delegation doesn't have to be a stressful, serious thing.I hope this helps you think differently about delegation. Let me know—where have you struggled with delegation?

Book Vs. Movie: LauraThe 1943 Novel Vs. the 1944 Classic FilmThe Margos continue with the 1940s with the film noir genre--Laura starring the gorgeous Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb, and Vincent Price. Based on the 1943 novel Ring Twice for Laura by Vera Caspary, the story of the mysterious Laura Hunt, who is found murdered (or was she?), was initially serialized in Collier's magazine in October and November 1942. It became a hit novel and was released as an Armed Services Edition to the troops in World War 2. Narrated in the first person, “Laura” is going murdered at her apartment door with her face left unrecognizable. Detective Mark McPherson tries to find her killer and focuses on her former lover, Waldo Lydecker, and her finance Shelby Carpenter. In the middle of the investigation, Laura shows up, surprised that someone was killed in her place. So who is the real victim and killer? The movie, directed by Otto Preminger, brings Gene Tierney as Laura, and from there, the character of Lydecker changes from an obese restauranter to a lanky writer who works in his tub. Dana Andrews plays the detective who falls in love with Laura (and who can blame him?!) The film's production had intense disagreements between the movie studio, the actors, the directors hired, and even columnist Walter Winchell had a say in the plot. But it is now considered a movie classic. So between the book and movie--which did the Margos like better? In this ep the Margos discuss:The life of writer Vera CasparayThe intriguing plot and why it is considered a mystery/romance pictureThe troubled productionThe cast of the 1944 film: Gene Tierney (Laura Hunt,) Dana Andrews (Mark McPherson,) Vincent Price (Shelby Carpenter,) and Judith Anderson playing Ann Treadwell.Clips used:“Laura” (1944) themeMark McPherson calls Laura a “dame.”Christopher Cross “Laura”Laura (1945 trailer)Mark McPherson meets Waldo LydeckerLaura meets Shelby“The interrogation scene”Music: David Raskin and Johnny MercerBook Vs.

Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3SgtTuAOn Today's Episode: Given the current global economic crisis we're all living through, it's safe to say that something is broken with our traditional models of government and economics. Today's guest is not shy about calling it out for what it is as we experience unprecedented times with unprecedented levels of public intervention.Michael Saylor is an entrepreneur and business executive. He's the executive chairman and co-founder of MicroStrategy. After recently stepping down from his role as the CEO of MicroStrategy after 30 plus years, he's sharing his unique perspective of what it means to survive our current global crisis. MicroStrategy is the biggest publicly traded corporate owner of bitcoin with close to 130,000 BTC.There's a necessity for you to understand money, understand how to protect your balance sheet, and understand your property rights. For some of us, it is riskier to stay where you are when considering to what extent governments are suppressing the free market, controlling your assets, and manufacturing metrics that don't reveal the true pictureThe most important decision for you to make at this point is where to place your assets and store value. Will you choose to store your assets and build value in things like real estate and gold that can be seized, taxed and controlled by the government, or will you consider what you can achieve by storing your assets through bitcoin?Check out Michael Saylor's Free Education (Courses and certifications): https://www.saylor.org/ SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Michael Saylor0:38 | MicroStrategy's Winning Strategy10:29 | Policy Wars Do This To Inflation19:55 | Suppressing the Free Market31:03 | FIAT Money & Government Intervention45:30 | What is ESG Policy?56:26 | Top Down Central Government1:07:51 | Keep Your Assets Out of Reach1:22:08 | Watch Out for These Rules of Thumb1:40:47 | Irreversible Transactions in CyberspaceQUOTES:“When you buy something that everybody else understands to be good at the same time they all agree with you, it's normally bad.” [7:37]“When a government declares a war, they basically put public policy and initiatives ahead of the free market.” [11:21]“The road to hell is paved in good intents.” [15:29]“Anybody you know that's a billionaire, [...] the Jeff Besos, the Elon Musks of the world, they didn't get there without holding an asset that had technical potential for a decade or longer, there is no get rich quick schemes.” [18:53]“War is a suppression of the free market to the benefit of the public organization.” [20:56]“We have a set of metrics that are manufactured metrics, and then we focus on them and then we talk about them, but ultimately what you have is an economy that has been distorted...” [26:10]“The U.S. primary expert is inflation, and it's a good situation, [...] we get products or services in return for exporting the dollar.” [50:45]“A terrifying thing becomes an excuse for the government to encroach more on freedom.” [1:00:10]“The big idea of the last two years is, every individual needs to become macroeconomically sophisticated and politically sophisticated.” [1:19:42]“Once you understand money, you understand bitcoin is engineered money and it's engineered without defects.” [1:34:46]“Cyberspace is a political construct and it is not a physical construct.

How do we avoid going down the wrong road with a patient after their evaluation and assessment?  This was prompted by a question in the Huddle regarding how we evaluate pelvic floor strength in patients.  Many of you said you only do it because it helps with getting insurance reimbursement.  But it's really, really hard not to allow that information to cloud your plan of care!In this 'sode we talk about the 'anchor bias' - the tendency of the mind to over-focus and rely too heavily on a single piece of information.  There are several ways this can affect pelvic floor therapists, including:An arbitrary 'strength' measurement taken during the evaluationRelying on a medical diagnosisFocusing more on their initial primary symptom rather than looking at the whole pictureThe information we gather is 'sticky' in our minds, and it's hard - even if we know the information is extraneous - to not allow it to affect our actions.Enjoy the 'sode!Pelvic Floor Strengthening: Not Your Mama's KegelsWe're almost done with the newest Rising course on Pelvic Floor Strengthening - make sure to get on the wait list (www.pelvicptrising.com/kegels) to get all the info and Early Bird access!Shout Out and Get in Touch!If you're enjoying the podcast, please take a few seconds to take a screenshot and put it up in your Instagram Stories and tag Nicole (@nicolecozeandpt).  Or send us an email at Nicole@PelvicSanity.com with your thoughts, questions or ideas.  We'd love to hear from you!About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.

In this episode, I speak to Meeta Malhotra, someone who dons many hats. Currently, she is the founder and editor of The Hard Copy, an excellent publication on branding and design which I write for, and through which I have gotten to know her well. But before that, she made a name for herself as a partner at Ray & Keshavan, India's once-premier design agency, before it was sold to advertising conglomerate WPP in 2013. From then, Meeta has been a serial investor, entrepreneur and mentor. I've had some excellent conversations in the last two years with Meeta thanks to the work I've done for her publication, and I count myself fortunate to be able to do so, benefiting from her wisdom and experience. I was very keen to have her on this show not only to get her insights but also to talk about something apart from what we always end up talking about! In this interview, we speak about:How if fundamentals are in place, everything else works out.How to charge a premium beyond having technical skills.How to not be scared of making mistakesOn the two methods of reading - the rabbithole and the hurdle raceBuilding the ability to zoom out and looking at the larger pictureThe power of compounding and how to go about “networking”… And what IS a network, in the first place?Two things that you need to survive over the next few years - adaptability and resilienceEverything Meeta Malhotra:Her Twitter: https://www.instagram.com/meeta_malhotraThe Hard Copy, which she edits: https://meetamalhotra.com/A talk she did in March 2020 on awareness: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08CGSJT44The article on The Hard Copy on virtual concerts: https://thehardcopy.co/the-future-of-live-entertainment/Getting Meta links:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/40Vo30aQilVrxEOkoSmDjx?si=pCOPeJlcR0uN_g2ZZs8iLQ&dl_branch=1Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-meta/id1573882113Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdGF0aWMuYWRvcmlsYWJzLmNvbS9mZWVkL2dldHRpbmctbWV0YS54bWwIVM website: https://shows.ivmpodcasts.com/show/getting-meta-y2rb-RtSzWNdzZ8i99R2QFollow your host on:Twitter: twitter.com/chuck_gopalInstagram: instagram.com/chuckofalltradesEmail: chuck@chuckofalltrades.in

Comparing ourselves to others is so easy, and so futile. Quotes to remember: “We'll never win the game of comparison.” “When somebody's doing well in their path, it really doesn't have anything to do with your path.” Takeaways:Comparing is a distortion of what is really going onOnline and offline, many people will showcase their highlight reel versus the full pictureThe voice of the ego is not youChoose your comparisons wiselyWhen you focus on who you are and what you enjoy doing, the FOMO and the comparing fall awayWhat you'll learn:What to do when you find yourself comparing to others and feeling badHow to work with the ego rather than against itWhat comparing reveals about yourselfTHIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Notice one time in which you are comparing yourself to someone else. Allow it to be there rather than avoid it. Notice when it happens, how you feel, and what the voice is saying in your head. Let's be friends on Instagram!Send me a message about the show!

With interest rates at all-time lows, in some situations, it is now a lot cheaper to be an owner-occupier than a renter. And with the prospect of interest rates not rising anytime soon, it could stay that way for a few years, unless the market changes.I thought it would be interesting to analyse the potential impact of this phenomenon. Obviously, there are some practical implications for people contemplating renting versus buying. But also, there will no doubt be broader consequences for the property market as a whole.How much cheaper and for who?Our analysis is summarised in the table below. Essentially, we compared the current value and rental cost of five property types and locations. The five scenarios were as follows:1. Luxury, high-end, boutique apartment for $2.2 million;2. Entry level 2-bedroom apartment that is considered investment-grade for $580,000;3. Investment-grade, 2-bedroom house in a blue-chip suburb for $1.2 million;4. A 3-bedroom family home in a desirable suburb for $2.5 million; and5. A 3-bedroom home in an outer suburb for $660,000.see table at https://www.prosolution.com.au/cheaper-to-own/The interest cost was based on an interest rate of 2.2% p.a., which is the current 3 -year fixed rate for owner-occupier mortgages. It assumes that the owner has borrowed 100% of the purchase price plus stamp duty, which isn’t practical unless they have additional security to offer the bank. But we had to make this assumption to ensure it was a fair comparison, even though consequently it becomes more of an academic comparison than a practical one.I’m sure you agree that it defies logic that it is less expensive to own your home than rent it. If this continued to be true, renting becomes far less attractive. As such, it is reasonable to assume that market forces will eventually conspire to reverse this i.e. make it more expensive to own. More on this later.Comparing interest and rental is not the full pictureThe above table compared the mortgage interest cost with the rental cost. However, as a homeowner, there might be additional cash flow implications associated with owning your home.Firstly, there’s the cost of maintenance to consider. This will depend on the type and age of the of property. It’s important to distinguish between maintenance and improvements. It is often very tempting to make improvements to your home, but these tend to be discretionary in nature, and probably should be excluded from this analysis.Secondly, there are also running costs that are exclusive to owners including owners’ corporation fees if you live in an apartment, council rates, water rates, insurance and so on.Finally, if your loan repayments are structured as ‘principal and interest’, the dollar value of your monthly loan repayments will be higher than that interest costs included in the table above. This is not a sunk cost however, as it reduces your liability and helps you accumulate equity in your home. So, it should be excluded from a financial comparison, but taken into account from a cash flow affordability perspective.Including owners’ costsThe table below includes an estimate of the above owning costs including maintenance, owners’ corporation fees, council rates, water rates, insurance and so on.see table at https://www.prosolution.com.au/cheaper-to-own/Tax free capital growthOf course, one of the benefits of being a homeowner is that you are able to benefit from the capital appreciation of your home and that gain is tax free (due to the main residence capital gains tax exemption). I discussed this a few weeks ago and concluded that “investing in your home” can be a very rewarding strategy.Owning provides certaintyOne of the problems with renting is that tenancy agreements are typically only 12 months long. This doesn’t provide renters with any long-term certainty. This is particularly an issue for family’s with school-aged children. As such, particularly in this circumstance, owning your home does provide more certainty.A higher demand from owner-occupiers could put downward pressure on rentsIf demand for rental properties falls because demand from owner-occupiers increases, then that is likely to have a negative impact on rent incomes. That is, existing investors may find it harder to rent their properties for the same amount. If this is the case investors will have to consider dropping their rent or making improvements to the property to improve its appeal. And, of course, if rents fall, it might once again, be cheaper to rent than own.It will likely provide a temporary stimulusClearly, due to a fall in interest rates, housing is more affordable than it used to be. That fact has to eventually result in an increase in property demand which will ultimately push property prices higher.However, interest rates will only have a temporary impact on demand as they won’t stay low forever. As I wrote in this blog last year, there are typically only four macro factors that persistently influence the level of demand for property on a long term basis. These include population growth, money supply, employment diversification and infrastructure.The Morrison government has already affirmed its commitment to return to previous levels of overseas migration once the Coronavirus passes. Given all monetary policy initiatives have already been employed (i.e. rates can’t fall any further), the government will have to turn to fiscal policy, which inevitably will include increased infrastructure expenditure, to stimulate the economy. And finally, the RBA expects the unemployment rate to recover to 7.5% by the end of 2021.Most of these factors, in the long run, are likely to stimulate property price growth.Need a deposit to buy a homeOf course, to be able to purchase a home, you need to qualify for a loan. This means you need to have enough income and low financial commitments to demonstrate you have surplus financial capacity to make loan repayments. Also, you need to have either a cash deposit or equity in another property. If you are weak on the deposit front, then a family guarantee can be a good solution.Owning eats into your borrowing capacityIf you have plans to borrow to invest in assets other than your home, you must consider how owning your home will impact this. Renting is better for your borrowing capacity i.e. generally you can borrow more for investment than if you own your home with a large mortgage.Renting allows you to ‘try before you buy’One of the advantages of renting is that allows you to experience living in a location without needing to make a large financial commitment. You may be better off renting in various locations in order to identify the one that suits you best.Also, if you are unsure which school you would like your children to attend, renting may (initially) provides you with more flexibility.What should you do?Of course, everyone’s situation and goals are different so it’s impossible to provide blanket advice. However, it would seem to me that if you want to live in a location that is regarded as investment-grade, then buying in that location might not only be more cost effective in the short run, but financial better in the long run.

Great question – there are loads of good reasons why a productised, lower value offer is a good idea for you to offer to clients: Helps you vet the clients to make sure you're a good fit for themHelps earn you some passive incomeGives you a "hook" to use in your own marketing (don't forget you must market yourself too, right?!)We use versions of a productised service in our agency to help us vet clients for retained services, so we've all worked together before by the time we actually sign a contract that ties us together for an extended period of time. What makes a good productised service: Something that takes no (or very little) of your timeSomething that gives great value to your target customerSomething that reveals a piece of the jigsaw, and alludes to the rest of the pieces that you can fix for your ideal clientSome examplesExample: Kyle:Runs an design / digital agency in TexasWants to attract local clients (i.e. within the state)Specialises in lead generation websites (ie not ecommerce)Wants to work with SMEs who need high quality leadsKyle needs to understand the full pictureThe right mix of good website design, proper coding and good website content delivery reliable and consistent high quality leads to the clientKyle wants to offer the website design and coding services, so the "free advice" he wants to give out could be about the content (upstream of his services)Exmaple Productised services Kyle could offer:A keyword overview report itemising all the keywords your website currently ranks for, and 3 of your competitorsAn email course about how to structure website content, or how and why it's important to run a blogSome video training about conversion rates and how and where to place call to actionsSome training on how to source keywords that will convert, and how to put a spin on them to attract trafficAn automated SEO review (or copy review) of any page of your websiteThe point is that the product positions you as the expert and reveals more details into a PART of the process that the client can take action on NOW. You must also make the point that any success the client will see from this training will be LIMITED unless they also address the design and coding parts – which you can help them with. I'd then follow it up with some emails or a method of validation, before offering to book a discovery call. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
