#66 - Two Ways to "Clone" Yourself and Get More Done
How Entrepreneurs & Property Managers Can “Clone” Themselves to Get More Done (and maybe even take a vacation)!
I wish there were two of me so I could get more done!
Why can’t I be at two places at once?
There isn’t enough of me to go around!
If you’re an entrepreneur running your own business or a property manager running a business like it’s your own, you’ve likely thought this a time or two. Am I right?
I promise I’m not spying on you. I’ve just been in your shoes.
When I first started as a property manager I felt constantly pulled in a million directions. I would often get to the office early and leave after everyone else left so I could get my work done when it was quiet. Sometimes I wanted to hide from my team and my residents. (Shout out to anyone who has ever parked their car away from the office so residents don’t know you are there!)
Many years later when I jumped into the world of entrepreneurship, I felt a familiar feeling. Overwhelm. And again I found myself wishing for two of me. There just weren’t enough hours in the day and I had the mistaken view that if I wanted anything done right, I’d have to do it myself.
After 10+ years as a property manager and 11+ years as an entrepreneur, I’m sad to say I haven’t actually figured out how to clone myself, but I have figured out TWO strategies that work even better. Today I want to share them with you.
Grab your favorite coffee or tea and let’s hang out.
