episode 127: Birthday Episode - 3 Lessons
Best Birthday Lessons I've Learned Since Last Year
I started with a birthday post of one lesson I learned for each year of my life. At 25, I gave 25 lessons I've learned in 25 years. I'm 32 now, and to list 32 lessons would be too much for one blog. To distill my lessons, I'm going to give you the main lessons that I've learned since my last birthday.
My biggest lessons are around the team and being a leader. For some reason, this concept seemed different in my mind. When I decided to train my team, I had to learn how to allow people to step up for me.
I never expected people to step up, to be honest. I never expected people would want to go hard for me like that. When people started stepping up, I was resisting that someone would want to go hard for me.
I've always felt like I had to do everything alone, albeit rugged individualism. After ten years of building a company on my own, I had to allow people to step up for me, and at the beginning of 2019, it was tough. There were lots of things that didn't work out. That started shifting on March 31st of 2019. After that first quarter, delegating started to shift, and we began to see some progress.
Listen in to find out:
- Why I’ve decided to delegate work and let others step up
- How I’ve let other team members to step into sales roles
- Why I am OK with enjoying my work
- The importance of being nicer to me
- Why I should go for my goals - even if I’m not sure how I’ll get there!
