CHAPTER 1
You Don’t Have to Do It All to Have It All
As women, we’re made to feel that to have it all, we must do it all. Although our every success is a great accomplishment, and we often welcome each transition into the next phase of life with much excitement and joy, we must also face a reality each time we achieve something greater. That is the reality that each accomplishment or life change adds responsibility to our plate and rarely subtracts.
We don’t climb the ladder of success. Instead, we advance to the next rung while still carrying the weight of every rung below us because we are taught to add to our responsibilities and never let go. We learn that success only comes when you show you can do it all.
Even worse, women are expected to accept this truth with a smile and not complain or ask for help because doing so must mean that we’re not actually worthy of the level of success we’ve achieved. We’re conditioned to believe that if we’re incapable of completing all that is expected of us, the only option is to lower our position on the success ladder.
Success is exhausting for women and can leave you wondering if it’s a myth that we can have it all.
What if the real myth isn’t whether you can have it all but whether you need to do it all to have it all?
Delegating is the key to success!
While you might fear delegating, not delegating is not the answer. There’s a cost to keeping all the work on your plate.
Get a copy of the book to learn why delegating feels so hard and why getting help is essential for growth and happiness.
Also, learn how to identify what to delegate at home and the office so you can start living in a way that allows you to fully enjoy your success.
