Doer or Delegator?

As you may have noticed throughout life, it seems there are two fairly distinct categories of people in the world.  One is a group of people that are  Delegators – those who find others with the skillset needed to create a task, and then hire those folks to complete those tasks.  The second is a group that looks at those tasks as a way to grow, stretch, and develop their own skillsets, and even, at times, add new skillsets.  These are the Doers – those who will rise to the occasion and find the way to get things cared for themselves.

A question that comes up over time is “If I’m a Delegator, can I become a Doer?”  The simple answer is “Yes!”  While that “yes” is merely the first step to becoming a Doer, the path beyond can often seem daunting.

Here at Zeh’s Custom Design, we’d like to share some Tips and Tricks we’ve learned along the way, to help you become a Doer should you choose.

We hope you enjoy these Tips and Tricks, get some use out of them, and maybe even come back to us with your questions.

Customer Reviews

Customer Review (Howard & Joan H., Lakewood, CO) - 

"The most important reason to work with ZCD was that I saw the before and after pictures of the restoration job you did on that antique bench. I have seen period furniture and you restored it to an original new condition. That combined with the quality I saw in your new furniture ventures convinced me that you were a great craftsman and you also had the discipline to keep antiques as antiques and restore them to their former beauty and not try to modernize them."

"What Joan and I and our kids saw was a much loved family heirloom which was given to you (ZCD) in a beat up and broken condition restored to its former beauty and usefulness as we remembered it. You even used square nails which Joan loved. Your restoration will provide our family with many more years and perhaps generations of enjoyment of the marble top chest/cabinet."

"You are a great craftsman who is both creative for new designs and yet has the self-discipline to channel that creativity into carefully restoring antiques to their original glory. So if you have a project new or old, Chris can handle it."


Customer Review (Gary & Linda M., Longmont, CO) - 

"ZCD was referred from our daughter in-law.  Chris did a good design for our custom table at a reasonable price."

"A very well built and attractive dining table, and it will last for many years."

"We highly recommend Chris.  His work is first rate and you get a one of a kind piece that meets your specification, instead of a store-bought compromise."
