WEBVTT - Delegate The Rest

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's up

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to SIDS team? You're listening to The Daily Game the

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Today's quote is something I keep in mind to stay motivated.

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>It comes from Michael Francis, former Colombo crime family boss

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and a friend of mine. Do what you do best

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and delegate the rest. That's a jewel. Do what you

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>do best and delegate the rest. Find other people that

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>can do things that you may not be an expert in.

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I got a good friend named Tim's story. He's a

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>motion picture director. I've known him ever since he was

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>sixteen years old. He did a movie called Silver Surfer

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>with all this CGI in it and all this special effects,

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and I asked him, I said, how do you do

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the special effects? He said, I don't do the special effects.

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm surrounded with experts. I direct the actors up to

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.559
<v Speaker 1>a point and then the special effects people come in

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and they handle that. So know what you can do.

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a house painter, so I'm not finna try

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>to paint my house, you know. I'm saying I know

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>what I can do. I try to fix things sometimes

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and when I get to a point, I'm like, ah,

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm out of my skill set right now, I am

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>about to break this thing. And you have to learn

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>how to call in experts when you step out of

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>your realm and don't be afraid to say, hey, I

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>do not know how to do this. I need to

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>find somebody, hire somebody, or connect with somebody that can

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>take it to the next level. I guess you could

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>say this is kind of like stay in your lane.

0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's put it like this. As a rapper, I know

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>how to but I'm not a producer. I don't really

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>know how to run drum machines. A lot of rappers can,

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>and they can produce and rap and sing or whatever.

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not that guy. I'm a lyricist. I can write lyrics.

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I hire people to make the music I connect. I

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>delegate that experts at that. So don't try to do everything,

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>because you know you don't want to be a jack

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>of all trades and master of none. You want to

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>master something, find what you're strong at, and then whatever

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>else is needed for the task. You have to delegate.

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 1>You have to find people that can help you and

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>even if you don't have the money to do it

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>right now, know that's where you're working for. You're working

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>for a point where you can create a team that

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>can accomplish the mission much more efficient. This has been

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>another ice cold fact from me iced tea. Listening again

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.480
