CHAPTER 5

MOVE BEYOND SELF-RELIANCE: EQUIP AND EMPOWER OTHERS

Hurdle: Proving Your Value

The Big Question

How do I stop doing too much?

The Big Lie

The Big Opportunity

Shift doing it all to influencing, inspiring, equipping and enabling others (your future followers), and enjoying your life more.

The Inner Critic at Work on Proving Your Value

One-up: “If other people could do things as well as I do them, I wouldn’t need to do so much.”

One-down: “I am not adding value.”
