BRX Pro Tip: African Proverb for Entrepreneurs
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, you’ve come across some wisdom from the other side of the world lately, haven’t you?
Lee Kantor: [00:00:11] Yeah, this is something I’ve heard about. I never knew that this was an African proverb, but I think it pertains to entrepreneurs really well. The proverb is, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:26] I think that successful entrepreneurs that make the transition from doing everything themselves to delegating to others is kind of the way to go. And you have to understand if when you delegate, when you build a team, when you kind of have people around you that you’re not going to get the exact same work done in the way, exact way you would like it to be done, or if you would do it yourself and you think that, you know what, it’ll be better and faster if I just do it myself.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:56] But over the long haul, that’s just not true. Because you’re not investing your time in the work that really matters. As soon as you have tasks that you can delegate, you should be delegating it. That is the only way you can lead well. So take the leap. Involve others on your journey. Share your mission with others who think like you and believe what you believe. Then, see how far you all can go together. And that’s what we’re doing at Business RadioX. We’re looking for others so we can serve more people together.
