Do you know what Competent Person's disease is? Probably many of you have experienced it, without being even aware. It’s the addiction to second place. It’s when you don’t trust others to do tasks for you, when you don’t delegate, thinking that no one could do them better than you. It takes valuable time out of your pocket and many times it prevents you from achieving greatness and happiness in your life.
