Do What You Know and Hire Someone to Handle What You Don’t Know

July 12, 2019 Belinda Enoma Leave a Comment


Do what you know how to do and hire someone to take care of what you don’t know.

Once upon a time, I asked someone to research and negotiate some vendor prices for our project but the result was some very high figures that were certainly above the budget.

I knew the industry and understood that the quotes could be negotiated. I knew I should have handled that part of the project myself but I was busy working on other things.

The person who helped was great at doing the research but I should have stayed in my lane and handled the negotiations.

I proceeded to handle my business by focusing on my strengths and shortly after clinched a deal that was about 80% less than what was originally quoted. That is, the deal was signed for about 20%; the project was implemented and completed.

I learned some lessons that day:

  • Money saved.
  • Time saved.
  • Unnecessary bells and whistles were identified as not needed.
  • What was relevant to the project and budget was agreed upon.

Do what I know how to do and hire someone to do what I don’t know. I delegated a task that I could have easily handled myself.

I had to rethink my strategy and operational methods:

1. What took up most of my time?
2. Why didn’t I just focus, work my zone of brilliance and hire someone to work his or hers in return for giving me desired business results?

You will save thousands of dollars [plus time, effort, stress] if you stay in your own lane.

Delegate and hire qualified help for tasks you cannot handle. You don’t need any unnecessary headache. There is wisdom, power and peace of mind in walking in your authenticity.
