Why I Stopped Doing It All Myself (And What I Gained)

The Turning Point: My Website Journey

At the start of this year, I set out with one clear goal: create my new website. Like many entrepreneurs, I initially thought, “I’ll handle it all myself—use a template, fill in the content, and finish quickly.” Simple enough, right? Yet as the months rolled by, the project stayed unfinished. I kept pushing it aside, telling myself, “I’ll get to it tomorrow…” but tomorrow never came.

‍

The Aha Moment

The real breakthrough came when I finally admitted I needed help. I decided to hire a web developer to handle the design and technical side of things. That decision not only transformed my website—it also transformed my mindset.

‍

What I Gained by Asking for Help

By bringing someone else on board, two important things happened:

1. ‍Focused on My Strengths: Letting the developer handle the tech aspect freed me to focus on writing content, which I genuinely love and excel at. Instead of juggling every detail, I could dive deep into the part of the project that brought me joy.‍
2. Accountability Became Real: With a developer waiting on my content, I felt a renewed sense of responsibility to get it done. This structure and mutual reliance pushed me to finish what I’d started—something I couldn’t seem to motivate myself to do when working alone.

The result? My website is nearly done, and I’ve become even more convinced that asking for help is the key to leveling up.

A Mindset Shift: “Who” vs. “How”

This experience taught me a valuable lesson:

To reach the next level of growth, the question isn’t “How can I do it all myself?” but “Who can help me get this done?”

So often, especially if you’re an entrepreneur or leader, you feel an urge to take on every challenge. While that might have worked at some point, achieving new heights often requires trusting others to do what they do best.

Why You Don’t Have to Go It Alone

We live in a culture that celebrates self-sufficiency. But the truth is, we don’t (and shouldn’t) do everything alone. Bringing in the right people—those whose expertise complements your own—frees you to focus on your strengths and the tasks that genuinely light you up.

The Benefits of Letting Go of Control

• ‍More Time & Energy: Delegate what drains you, and invest your energy in the areas where you thrive.‍
• Greater Creativity: Freeing your mind from tedious tasks often sparks fresh ideas and strategies.‍
• Faster Progress: When accountability is built in, projects move forward more efficientl

What’s Your Next Level?

I invite you to reflect on your own journey:‍

• ‍What’s your next big goal or passion project?
• Who in your network (or beyond) can help you reach it?

Remember: Growth doesn’t always come from pushing harder. Sometimes, it’s about letting go of control and inviting others to share their gifts.
