What RE tasks or general business tasks CAN'T be delegated?
Hey all, like most people in the BP/RE community, we're all busy! I love the idea of delegation/automation/systems in business (and use quite a few) but go back and forth on what is delegatable vs. what is a core task that needs to be taken on individually. At the moment,
I believe the following tasks are NOT delegatable and remain core tasks:
- -Developing relationships by providing value
- -Getting smarter through learning, taking action and speaking with people
- -Being healthy - mental health and physical health through fitness/diet
- -Casting a vision or strategy for your life and your team's life
Some tasks I believe can be delegated/systematized:
- -Finding deals - with help of brokers, wholesalers, marketing
- -Scheduling -through softwares like calendly
- -Property management through traditional property managers or digital assistants
These are just a few that come to mind. What am I missing?

You make great points. You can hire people and implement systems to improve your ability to develop relationships and provide value. CRMs are fantastic tools to track your relationships and help you grow them. Virtual assistants can set appointments and help you organize your relationships. But at the end of the day, you're the tip of the spear! People and systems can help a lot with the logistics and scaleability.
