Design an action plan
Running a thriving business means understanding how to organize your work by importance and knowing when to delegate.
- Find your sweet spot. When you consider taking on a project, see if it aligns with your purpose and the organization's broader goals. Ask yourself if you're the right person with the right skillset.
- Automate. As your company grows, use automation tools for low-level work. It also allows your employees to make more meaningful contributions.
- Set boundaries. Learn to say no to low-level tasks. Set your own limits about what you'll take on.

The 6 main principles of servant leadership
- Empathy. Give trusted co-workers the benefit of the doubt by assuming the good in them. It goes a long way toward instilling loyalty and trust in you from your team.
- Awareness. Care deeply about the welfare of the team members. Don't view them only as cogs in a machine.
- Building community. Build community where both employees and customers can thrive.
- Persuasion. Rely on persuasion rather than coercion to create internal motivation required to complete the task effectively.
- Conceptualization. Servant-leading entrepreneurs focus on the big picture and don't get overly distracted by daily operations and short-term goals.
- Growth. Care passionately about the personal and professional growth of each member of the team.
