Delegating for business growth
We spend so much time learning how to update our website, post on social media, create email newsletters, but we end up neglecting the areas of our business that we know will drive our growth and increase our profitability such as relationship growing and servicing (delighting) our clients.?
It’s easy to get into analysis paralysis….but here’s my suggestion.
Take note of the tasks that are on your ‘to-do’ list that make you feel heavy. That you find you put off till last, or begrudgingly get to only when it’s ‘must-do’. Which tasks do you drag your feet on?
Is it updating your website? Creating an email newsletter? Invoicing?
Identify those tasks and find a virtual assistant to take them on for you. It’s possible to find folks who will take on even 2 hours/month!
When outsourcing….consider the Time vs. Money issue. Do you want to take Time to train someone (especially in an area that you may not be well-versed in?) Or would it be better to spend a bit more money to hire someone who is already an expert in that area?
Empowering your team to take on tasks to help free you up for your continued growth can be one of the best things you ever do for yourself.
