yes! this! there’s also some WSNH tangential advice that really bugs me - I think it maybe comes from the 4hr Work Week? this entrepreneurial advice that if you have a high hourly rate, it makes more sense to pay other people the bare minimum to do more “menial” work for you because “your time is worth more than that.” i also am not against delegating or exchanging labour with others, as long as it’s in a fair way. but the idea that The Entrepeneur’s time is somehow just *inherently* worth so much more than the person they’re delegating to is so gross.
Delegation is, and always has been, tough for me. Reasons: no one can do it as well as me; hesitant to let anyone into private space or think I'm weak. As I wrote that, I sound so arrogant! Jeez!
