@nishildpatel Honest confession. I’m terrible at picking up the phone. And I know how that sounds, so let me put it in context. On a normal day I’m running 40 to 50 text conversations, 30 to 40 calls, more emails than I can count, plus in person check ins with my staff and subs on site. So when a call comes in while I’m locked into one of those, I don’t always pick up. But I never leave someone hanging. I’ll shoot a text right back. “Can’t talk, send me a message and I’ve got you.” And then I actually respond, almost immediately. It wasn’t always this volume. Early in my career I never missed a call, never let a single lead slip, and I had the time to chase every one. Back at the liquor store, when someone came in looking for something we didn’t carry, we made a form to grab the request and their number, then hunted it down and called them the second we got it in stock. That hunger is what built all of this. And now the volume it created is the hardest thing to manage. People tell me to hire an assistant to field the calls. But I built everything you see by being the front man. Not just the face, the hands on it, the one who gets it done. This next chapter might be my hardest. Learning to delegate without disappearing. #WakeupPrayHustle for your loved ones!!
