In this brief advisory segment, the speaker emphasizes that entrepreneurs should delegate core business functions—such as sales, marketing, account management, and finance—to specialists. Citing Dan Martell’s mantra, “80% done by somebody else is 100%,” the speaker argues that specialists can devote more focused attention and often outperform the founder in those areas. The speaker warns that a founder’s former “superpower” can become an Achilles’ heel if they cling to it, urging entrepreneurs to let go of tasks that can be better handled by experts.

What is it? 80% done by somebody else is 100%. I think Dan Martell says that all the time, but there are people that are gonna be just as good, if not better, than you at whatever function is in the business, cuz you're the entrepreneur. And so you've got a million things you're focused on where somebody that's a specialist in that thing, whether it's sales or marketing or account management or finance, because they're in their box and they're a specialist in that thing, they'll be able to give it much more attention than you could, which means they're gonna do a better job. And so don't feel like you have to hold onto it. Sometimes the things that is our superpower becomes the Achilles heel, and that's the thing we need to let go of. ¡Hola!
