Episode 8: If I Don't Do It Myself, It Won't Be Done Right
from The Bullish Life · host Eric Burns
If you're like me, you hold onto tasks that should be delegated because we tell ourselves that if we don't do it ourselves, it won't be done right. For a long time I operated that way—I thought my standards were higher than anyone else's, and if I handed something off, it would come back wrong and I'd have to fix it anyway. In this episode, I explore how this belief wasn't really about quality—it was about control and perfectionism, and it stalled my momentum and at times kept me stuck. I share how I began to realize that holding onto tasks because I thought no one else could do them right wasn't a strength—it was a limitation. I was trading my time for tasks that someone else could handle, and I was preventing myself from focusing on the things only I could do or the things that I could do well. The question isn't "Can someone else do this as well as I can?"—the question is "Does this require my attention or am I better allocated somewhere else?"
