Why Entrepreneurs Struggle Delegating to Remote Teams

Over the last few years of working with business owners, I know that there are two main problems that prevent them from building effective remote teams:

1. The fear of losing control.

2. Major process problems.

I have found that most people have difficulty giving up control. I know, I am a control freak myself! The rest just don’t know how to delegate, and that’s a process problem. So, why do entrepreneurs struggle delegating to virtual teams? Most are so busy “inside” the business, that they don’t have time to work “on” the business. The trick to beat the fear of losing control is understanding that you need to focus on the most valuable use of your time. The only way to achieve that is to have a reliable, consistent and intelligent person or team of people to take over the activities that are not the best use of your time.
