Last week we started training your brain’s creative muscles using the Idea Generator.
This week we’re going to use this powerful tool for an important strategy that is the next step in working smarter, not harder.
Each day this week – we’re going to break down this strategy into 10-15-minute Idea Generator brainstorms.
While using the Idea Generator you need to make sure your brain “sweats”.
In one โsittingโ you should come up with at least 10 ideas. If 10 ideas popup easily – come up with at least 5 more ideas after you think you canโt come up with more ideas.
From now on – you have this powerful tool in your tool box – and you should use it to:
- Train your problem-solving and creativity muscles
I use this tool almost daily to keep my brain sharp and flexible.
Simply ask a question/problem and take 10 minutes to come up as many ideas/answers/solutions as you can.
When you run out of questions, use the question “What questions/problems should I work on in the next days?”. Set your timer for 10 minutes, and get to work… - Solve any WHAT TO DO, ONE-STEP problem
Anytime you need an answer or a solution to a non-complex question or problem, instead of looking for one answer/solution, clearly state the issue, set you timer to 10 minutes, and come up with at least 10 possible ideas.
E.g.ย ideas for blog posts, money-saving ideas, ideas for new success habits… - Solve HOW TO DO, ONE-STEP problems
Anytime you’re struggling with a more complex challenge, problem, obstacle or setback in business or life, clearly state the issue, set you timer to 10 minutes, and come up with at least 10 possible solutions.
Then,ย repeat the exact same process with the same issue 5 days in a row (like you did last week with your current business struggle).
E.g. HOW to WOW your clients, HOW to manage your time better… - Solve WHY-WHAT-HOW, MULTI-STEP problems
Anytime you’re trying to answer a strategic question or solve a strategic problem, use this multi-step approach.
Break the question/problem into several sequential questions/problems (using WHY, WHAT, HOW and similar questions to help) and solve them one at a timeโฆ
Work Smarter, Not Harder – Part 2
A quick reminder: Master Entrepreneurs are those that go from where they are now to where they want to be in the minimum amount of steps. That’s what it means to work smarter.
When you get there – doing business becomes easier, life is more flowing, you get results faster…
The second habit you must “install” to become a Master Entrepreneur is Using OPT and OPE.
- OPT stands for Other People’s Time
- OPE stands for Other People’s Expertise
Another way to describe OPT + OPE is called… Delegation.
Delegation basics
Thinking of delegation might make you nervous, especially if youโre used to doing things on your own, having complete control and considering perfection the ultimate goal… But you canโt be a team of one forever.
By delegating some of your tasks and responsibilities to someone you trust, youโll be able to spend more time on the things that require your core expertise and build a more sustainable business.
Throughout the program we’re going to use the MG-SPI system for success
- M for MINDSET
To be successful in anything you do – you need to have the “right” mindset; - G for GOAL
If you don’t know where you’re going, you have very little chances to get there; - S for STRATEGY
If the goal is your destination, then the strategy is the vehicle to get you there; - P for PLAN
This is your roadmap – how are you going to “drive” your “vehicle” in order to get to your destination; - I for Implementation
You can have the most supporting mindset, the clearest goal, the best strategy in the world and a perfect plan… But without actually taking action – following the plan – you will NOT achieve your desired success.
Let’s start with your MINDSET…
Thinking of delegation might make you nervous, especially if you believe that:
- “I’m the only person who can do this” – if this is right – then that’s your core skill/quality and you should keep doing it – BUT… not more than 2 or 3 tasks in your business should be in that category…
- “Itโs easier and faster to do the task myself” – it’s probably true at the beginning – but when you change your mindset to “I can teach someone to do this” you release your need for control – and your business can fly;
- “They might not do it right” – it’s probably true, but this is your perfectionism talking. Change your mindset to “Different isnโt wrong and done is better than perfect” and you’ll be amazed of the results;
- “What if I delegate and it fails” – it can happen… it will probably happen… but you shouldn’t let yourย fear of failure stops you from growing your business – remember that “There is no failure. You either succeed or you learn“… and that applies also to those you delegate to;
- “I tried it before and it didn’t work – don’t let your pastย bad experiences kill your chances for a better future… Remember – “Your past does NOT equal your future“… Try again, start small, andย follow these 10 ideas how to delegate.
- “I can’t afford it” – in this case you probably want to change your mindset to, “Iย can’t afford NOT to delegate…” (think about it).
Set your GOAL for this week…
Here’s a great goal for you:
I am going to become great at delegating.
How’s that for a 5-day challenge?
Choose the STRATEGY you will use…
If you are doing everything yourself – then this week will be about taking the first step in delegating… If you’re already delegating regularly – then this week you will learn to delegate strategically.
And again, we’re going to use… theย Idea Generator
Remember – your brain is an answering machine… so let’s give it a great question each day of the week:
- Day 1 –ย WHY delegate
Come up with as many purposes for delegating in your business (e.g. save time, increase focus, decrease frustration, decrease mistakesโฆ)
Rememberโฆ when you run out of reasons/purposes – you need to come up with at least 5 more.
Write them ALL down in the comment box below.
Then choose the most important 2-3 reasons. Write them down. - Day 2 – WHAT to delegate
Read the most important 2-3 purposes you chose yesterday and come up with a list of all the tasks and responsibilities that you could delegate to achieve those most important purposes.
Make sure you keep going for 5 more when you run out of ideas.
Write them ALL down in the comment box.
Then choose ONE task/responsibility youโre going to delegate and write it down. - Day 3 – WHO to delegate to
Remind yourself of the task/responsibility youโre going to delegate and come up with a list of people/companies (names or professions) that you could delegate to.
Make sure you include in the list both free and paid options, both low cost and more expensive.
Write them ALL down in the comment box.
Then pick your best person/company for your current situation and write it down. - Day 4 – HOW to delegate
Remind yourself who are you going to delegate to, what are you going to delegate to them, and whyโฆ and then come up with a list of ideas HOW are you going to make sure that the delegation will be a success (goals, expectations, training, briefing, reporting, feedbackโฆ)
Write them ALL down in the comment box. - Day 5 – putting it all together
For the Friday Celebration post a clear, concise plan – WHY are you going to delegate, WHAT task, to WHO, HOW youโre going to make sure itโs a success, and WHEN are you going to startโฆ
PLAN your actions in your agenda…
Your next step is to actually plan this process in your agenda.
Plan toย invest 10-15 minutes EVERY DAY in the coming 5 days to follow the process above.
Now it’s time to IMPLEMENT…
Take 10 minutes, right now, and…
- Day 1 – come up with at least 10 ideas WHY to delegate and choose the 2-3 most important ones;
- Day 2 – come up with at least 10 ideas WHAT to delegate and choose the ONE task/responsibility you’re going to delegate;
- Day 3 – come up with at least 10 ideas WHO to delegate to and choose the person/company you’re going to delegate to;
- Day 4 – come up with at least 10 ideas HOW to delegate
- Day 5 – put it all together WHY, WHAT, WHO, HOW, WHEN…
As soon as you have them… write them down in the comment box.
My commitment to you…
- I’m looking forward to read your process and ideas below;
- I will be there for you on Wednesday to support you with any question, challenge or setback you encounter;
- I’m looking forward to celebrate your progress and results on Friday (I’m curious to hear what you’ll come up with).

I need to get to money earning jobs .uch faster
I need to feel that I'm doing things that matter to me and others
Its good to give others a job they can do well.

Week 2 - 5 of 5
Why
I can focus better on growing my business by using other people's time (OPT) or other people's expertise (OPE): by delegating.
What
The most important task to be delegated is to answer emails, make appointments and carry out other administrative matters. For this I am going to hire a VA (OPE).
I will also work out the other tasks to be delegated in the coming months. I am very inspired and also a little nervous about developing my own A-team.
Who
I have previously worked with Amanda Egger (VA) / Assistanz. I was impressed by her efficiency and speed of work.
How
When Amanda wants to work with me, I take the time for her to explain what I want and how I want it. I also tell her my vision.
When
I approach her Monday morning July 4, 2022.

Day 5
WHY, WHAT, WHO, HOW, WHENโฆ
WHY: to grow and expand, to systemize and be consistent, and to create passive income.
WHAT: First thing: Sales. Next thing: trainings.
WHO: Sales: Niels.
HOW: To make a clear plan for both warm and cold contacting.
576 comments
Day 4- HOW to delegate?
I talked with a student to have him do the sales calls for me. This will be my first step.
There are different parts in this delegation.
1: practicalities such as how to pay him. I will let him work for me on a part of the profit. Meaning, if he sells a book package of 40 books (x25 = 1000 euro) he gets for instance 20% of the turnover 200 euro.
I will need to think how to pay him- after the company paid would be good but thatโs quite lateโฆ hmm
He might want also an hourly rate but then a low one (weโll see). I want him to work on a part of the turnover to feel the responsibility and make sure he feels that it delivers him something extra when he does well.
2: HOW to delegate โ content wise?
โข I need to think of who I will let him contact. My contacts? Cold contacts?
โข Create call scripts โ test them
โข Train him in communication styles and in listening (heโs already good๏)
โข For warm:
o Make a VERY clear I.O.
o invite the people I interviewed for the book launch
โข For cold:
o Make a list of interesting clients
o Create messages for LinkedIn for cold
o Create a free giveaway for the messages
o Create a strategy for LinkedIn
โข Create feedback structure
โข Create document for results
โข Decide on proper KPIs
โข Let HIM come up with the plan๏ (He knows exactly how to do it)

Day 5
I put together all the pieces and I am really looking for someone to help me run my webshops. So far no luck but I will keep on trying. I am glad I was able to take care about the phone (I have a great phonecare service). I also have the best bookkeeper, really pleased with her. There is someone helping me with Google ads. So all in all I have delegated a few tasks. However, for the biggest task, I have the most problems finding someone. It is the biggest challenge but I will succeed. I have to in order to be able to grow.

WHY - More time for core business
WHAT - Assistance during training
WHO - Students
HOW - By giving out certificates for different levels, so progress is rewarded.
WHEN - Next season (September)
I already have assistant instructors (more than I actually need) so I have more free hands during training. At this moment I donโt give out certificates but young students love any kind of certificates. So, in conjunction with the belt system, Iโm going to introduce different instructor levels with certificates. This way I hope to keep them engaged for the long run.

Day 5 โ putting it all together
For the Friday Celebration post a clear, concise plan โ WHY are you going to delegate, WHAT task, to WHO, HOW youโre going to make sure itโs a success, and WHEN are you going to startโฆ
1. What did you get out of this weekโs assignment?
There is more to delegate then I thougt there would be and therefor if I delegate stuff that cost me time or frustrates me I will be a better coach for my clients, partner , friend for my friends because of the overall good feeling it will give me.
2. What is the delegation plan (WHY, WHAT, WHO, HOW and WHEN) you commit to implement?
I answered this today in a separate Comment just before this one. I have very clear actions for next week to ask 3 people to help me out with videoshooting, remake website, and take pictures needed for my website and social media. Actions are in my agenda.
3. What did you learn from doing this weekโs process?
Getting out of bed early and do my committed actions is helpfull and gives me time, positive energy and structure for the day. Being in action and getting results is great! I stop victimizing myself. I grow in taking actions and stop thinking to much.
4. How are you going to celebrate your completion of the second WOMB week?
Thank my family for supporting me with flowers and a nice baked apple pie.

This is so AWESOME Alma!
It's really inspiring to read all your insights and actions.
It's refreshing to see how your celebration includes others in it, however, I'm wondering what can you do that would give YOU a REWARD for all your hard work?

WOMB WEEK 2, JULY 1st, DAY 5/5
STRATEGIC DELEGATION: WHY, WHAT, WHO, HOW, WHEN
WHY?
I commit to delegate strategically to:
- make my vision come truth
- build a sustainable and self-sufficient business (abundant fruit tree) that constitutes a great system of systems
- make the โimpossibleโ possible and have a worldwide positive impact in the lives of many babies, parents and families.
WHAT?
As I see it now (please correct me if I am wrong), the most important strategic delegation in building THE BABY HOTEL, is the training of sleeping coaches. Off course I first need to learn everything about the business before I can delegate.
However I commit to become an expert in both tactic and strategic delegation by starting with Tactic delegation FIRST (for example blog creation) and grow my skills from there.
To WHO?
My first strategic delegation will be to my former sleeping coach Trudy. I have a deep respect for her as a person and as a professional. Then I will delegate this training to the most brilliant trainees who will become trainers of coaches.
Further I will delegate to mothers, motivated volunteers, fiverr, barters and further paid and non paid providers.
HOW?
I will delegate to Trudy by Co-Creating the training system and let her shine. My vision is that THE BABY HOTEL will become a platform where we can build a legacy and transform the world.
This means that I will mostly delegate by providing people with a vision, a purpose and a sense of belonging to something greater than themselves, something that money can not buy.
WHEN?
The long term strategic delegation requires time but hereunder I commit to the following deadlines:
- Meeting with Trudy (July 5)
- Requesting funding from Municipality of Amsterdam (July 7)
- Creation of blog platform (July 22)
- Publishing of first blog (July 29)
- First webinar (September 2022)
- First sleep coaching workshops (October 2022)
- First training of coaches (July 2023)
- First sleep coaching trajects (August/ September 2022)
- First coaching nights at a hotel (December 2023)
- First BABY HOTEL (December 2025)
Once again my infinite thanks to Nisandeh and Vered for this amazing week! I have learned SO MUCH, you guys are simply wonderful. I donโt have the words to express my gratitude for what you are doing โค๏ธ

Putting it al together
I want to delegate the writing and publishing of social media content to an intern because in a way they have better knowledge about this line of work than me. And besides that there can be more stuff done when working together.
It will mainly be writing posts and blogs and posting them on our social media platforms. And further more the intern can give us advise about the social media strategy and help us with setting up vlogs and online training.
Success will be there when we create the boudaries for succes and give enough space for creativity and experimentation.
In two weeks we will start to make a description and profile fort he assignment. After the summer holiday we wil recruite the intern.

I delegate because I can not and will not do it all by myself.
I am not good in everything and I am too expensive to do it all.
I can delegate a few things to start with responding on comments and chats in my Facebook page.
I will ask my VA to do this to because I already pay her for planning and posting on Facebook.
And I will do that when the first time I meet her in July.

Thank you so much, Sigrid! All the thoughts and best wishes of others are lifting us up. We enjoyed our wedding dag enormously.
And one of the things I learned from Vered en Nisandeh that choosing each new day for each other is key! And that we do since 2015 and this we confirmed with our wedding vows.

Thank you dear Nisandeh and Vered,
We are still reminiscing about the special wedding party that we had prepared for the guests at this special location in Amsterdam-North: De Hangar.
And of course also in the words that the guests, including our four teenagers aged 15, 16, 17 and 18, have to us, because that was a special and focused experience for the special attendees. In particular my eldest daughter Brechtje, 18, who spoke candidly about the rich woman/mother that Miranda is. How she first saw as confidential on her life and now confidently on all women's things with her comments. A huge recognition and appreciation for her.
We consider ourselves a rich family with the books of mutual bonus children, which enrich us as parents with the rights of both sides.
So great to see how they develop into valuable people..........
Greetings and love to all of you from us. Miranda and Alexander
