I have long considered myself a recovering perfectionist. So much so that I’ve often fallen victim to the fallacy that I need to do everything myself in order for it to be done right.
I still struggle – almost weekly – with effectively delegating certain aspects of my business, but I’m trying to get better.
One of the ways I do that is by reading books on the subject like Your World-Class Assistant by Michael Hyatt.
Another book on this topic I recently learned of is written by today’s guest, Paul Estes, and is called Gig Mindset: Reclaim Your Time, Reinvent Your Career, and Ride the Next Wave of Disruption.
If you’re ready to reenergize your work, the Gig Mindset is what you need.
