As an entrepreneur, it is essential to look for ways to save time, as every second counts.

The key is delegation. As a founder, you want to adhere to the following three goals:

1 – Work on things that add the more value

2 – Work on things you’re good at

3 – Work on things you enjoy

Everything else you should try to delegate

Let’s jump into how we can do this.
