When To Outsource

Would you rather have an extra set of arms or an extra 8 hours in the day? Thankfully, these aren’t as impossible as they seem! Bringing on an incredible addition to your team can be just what you need to make the impossible possible. 

Sometimes outsourcing feels right, but when it doesn’t, these indicators can help you decide what is the right step for you and your business!  

Work isn’t bringing you joy.

If logging in every day isn’t striking your creative chord, step back, and evaluate what might need to change. Tasks that mentally drain you can stunt your creativity later in the day when you’re really looking for that spark. Passing these tasks to an assistant or worker can help you create a workday that you love. 

You’ve stopped growing.

If you’ve reached the limit for how many clients and projects you can take on without feeling overwhelmed, it’s time to bring on an extra set of hands! There are only so many hours in a day, so if you’ve maxed out the number hours a week that you can manage then it’s the perfect time to ask for help. Time-consuming tasks that keep the business running but don’t contribute to growth are a great place to

There are new opportunities you want to explore.

Taking your business the next step by branching out into other spaces is a great way to grow. But learning about a new space or creating content centered around this new focus takes time that you might not have! If you’re already swamped with day-to-day tasks, considering outsourcing some of them to help you focus on the big picture and give new ventures a shot. 

Making an impact matters to you. 

Being able to provide an income to someone else is one of the best feelings. It really is a moment when your hard work pays off to come full-circle, someone had given you a chance at one point to get your foot in the door! Whether you are able to be that person for an up-and-coming freelancer or someone that is experienced in their trade, this special relationship truly does benefit both of you. Growing your business and making an impact? Yes please!
