What Is Delegation? Boost Your Hourly Rate Fast

0:00Yes, I'll do that, I like that for the activities and for the activities, yes, yes, yes. This is my book by the way, yeah, a few money, you can get it. So some people might be thinking, but then there are like, we are taught, think even when we're growing up, people have a hard time delegating because as a young kid, when we're growing up, when we go to school, if you delegate, what does that mean? It means you're cheating, you're lazy, you're no good, right? You can't go home and tell your parents, hey, mom and dad, guess what, I just delegated my homework, right?

1:02Like if your Asian parents are, right? So grind it, exactly, so we are taught, we got to, you know, everything and be the honorable person and take care of your stuff and do this shit, right? Let me ask you a question, this stuff is just stuff. Do you think you have a chance, a better chance of going to heaven if you spend your life doing shit that you don't like? Honestly, that's a question. You think the better chance going to heaven, you spend your whole life doing shit that you don't like. That's not the point. I remember when I was going to college, I never graduated from university, but when I was going to college, Dukas College, in the US minister, and at the time I was, first of I was very entrepreneurial, I was having fun, I was having these like smart kids in the class, okay? And they're kind of geeky, all geeky kind of kids, right? And I'll have them take notes and stuff like that, and I would help them to get phone

2:05numbers from the other girls, and I would take those notes, and I would flip it, sell it to other kids, and make money, and do this stuff, and I was making good money in textbook, and all this stuff that was doing to make money. And also, I was delegating my homework to these kids. That's when you know I'm an entrepreneur. You know, because I was having them do my homework, do my essay, do my assignments, I was paid, because the money I was making from selling their notes, and I paid them back, and do this. Right? Yes. Yeah, right out of college, I was doing that as well as making good money, but just from college along, I thought, hey, you know these kids, they're kind of desperate, they're kind of lonely, and they want to ask, you know, they want to date and stuff like that, and I'm like, I don't care about rejection, I'll walk up to, okay, that guy wants to date, you want to give him a number? He asked enough, they were saying, oh yeah, sure, and these guys thinks like, oh my God, how does he do it? He's got some magic power. No, I just ask a lot of people, like, it's shameless, that's all, right?

3:09That's all that is. But what I'm saying is, we are taught not to delegate, yes, we are taught not to do that, and that's why you resist, because you're supposed to watch the dishes, you're supposed to cook, you're supposed to do all this stuff. Now remember, he's a big lesson, a story I got from a mentor, and I will do you a moment, who know my mentor, Dan Pena, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and share this with me, in private. One day, him and the assistant, running on a cash, in Los Angeles, so the assistant took my mentor in his Rose Royce and went to the bank, and the assistant walked up to the bank, did his machine, and put in a card, and pressed a few numbers, and money comes out, and my mentor was shocked, and said, what is this, what's called an ATM machine? My mentor has never seen an ATM machine, that's fucking cool, he put in the card, money comes out, this is kind of cool, right?

4:10And like, he just, he doesn't know, he's that to a point of he was so focusing on the business, on a lot of things, he missed a lot of the typical life stuff, with me is the same thing, and there's a lot of stuff, you ask Jenny, where's Jenny, Jenny, come. Well, I'm plastering my wife by the way, I'll go to the next room, okay, it's coming from a wife would be the best, because you don't believe me, because she doesn't give a crap, so she'll say, now just tell them like in home life, like there's a lot of shit there, like I'm just an idiot, just to tell the truth, whatever, seriously, am I going? Yeah, damn, just like eat dinner and lunch, and then after you finish, we just left everything there, the chopsticks, our fork, our spoons, everything there, and just left it, and then there's a day I was out, and when I came back, I was just asking, how come you don't like

5:12pack those things, at least like pulling to the kitchen sink, or anything? Have I ever cooked in, in a home? Never. When the light bulb went out there, I know how to change it. No, it got let me finish the store. Oh, yes, please. My dad. Don't interrupt me. Sorry. Yeah. Okay, and I was like, how come you do this? He's like, I don't know how to do it. I was like, okay, so what if I'm away, let's say I go on a trip or anything, like, what are you going to do? He's like, I was just going to take the, you know, the dying six sparrings. Monday, Tuesday. Yeah, then one week you'll get home. How about all spotter guns? Like, maybe like, you know, like, I'll go around the hotel, the countertop or anywhere. And we have a maid that comes in and cleans up the house and all that stuff, and then that's all cool. But I mean, that's ridiculous, right? And I want her to share that. Because it's how ridiculous it is. That there's a lot of shit that I just don't know. I don't know how to do. I don't want to do them. I don't like to do them. I'm very obvious

6:15about it, because my time is worth too much money. And sometimes I usually say, oh, you're just using that as excuse, right? Then you should have bought some shoes and she just like, that's good. Well, I'm a boss of my wife. And truly, that's how I live. It's kind of a bit weird. It's not the same, but it's just the way I'm only good at a handful of things. Maybe four or five things that I'm brilliant at. Everything else I suck. Like terrible, terrible, terrible. Because I've devolved my life, mastering those two or three things. That's it. It's like an artist, right? They're only good in the craft. And they're so good and everything else is an idiot. That's what I'm talking about. So what exactly is delegation? Write this down. What exactly is delegation? So tell me, what exactly is delegation? Getting something else to do to work? Yes. What exactly is delegation? To making your vision, very

7:20good, very good. Now, here's my definition. And it's very specific. Delegation is asking, what's the word? What's the word? Asking. Not assigning. Asking another to do all the part of a task, you wish completed. It's very key. All a part of a task, you wish completed. And you know why in a minute, why is it a critical distinction? Delegation is asking you in order to do all a part of a task, you wish completed. Now, if you think about it, all a part of a task. What you don't give away, so when you delegate a task, asking someone to help you. Now, you can delegate to a person. You can delegate to what? Person. Now, can you also delegate to a company? Yes or no? Yes. Can you delegate to a piece of technology? Yes or no? Yes. Yes. It could be a company, could be a person, could be a piece of technology, could be so many things. So let me get

8:23an example. So let's say it's evening, and I don't have time to cook, and I'm hungry, and I want to eat some pizza, and I caught up the pizza delivery, and they deliver pizza to my house. Is that delegation? Yes. But I'm not delegating to a person, delegating to a company, right? An organization. So that's okay. That's okay. Software nowadays, you can delegate a lot of things to a piece of software, that they could do things easier faster for you without you doing it. Just a dossier, there you go. That's another form, right? But what you don't give away is the responsibility. What is it? So is your job as a leader, make sure you get done. Doesn't mean you have to do it, but it's your job to make sure you get done. You're still in charge. Who's in charge? Who's in charge? You are. Ten times your finances. Ten times your business. Ten times your marketing. Ten times your life. Hit the subscribe button now.
