29: Scaling Your Business with Outsourcing: How to Delegate So You Can Grow

How do you know when it’s time to outsource tasks for your business? Sometimes our initial reaction can be “I can't afford it.” It’s important to think about this a little differently. Start by figuring out how much you make per hour - and that makes outsourcing so much easier! If you can pay someone (who is probably an expert) to do it cheaper than you can do it, then it’s probably time to outsource. Today we are going to give you 3 tips to help you scale your business through outsourcing. Is This Task Something You Don’t Like to Do?  Start by asking yourself what you really don’t enjoy doing. What takes you more hours than it should, simply because you don’t enjoy doing it? Find someone who does enjoy doing it! Or, pay a family member or someone who needs a little extra income to do it for you. There’s a secret benefit to this: generosity. You are blessing them, while also getting work done more efficiently for your business.  Is This Task Something That Takes You A Long Time to Complete?  If you feel zapped by doing a task or it simply takes you a long time to complete, then it might be time to outsource it. These types of tasks can be business-adjacent, as well. Think about hiring a house cleaner or doing grocery pick up or delivery - these types of tasks can save you time and energy to free you up to work in your business or just enjoy life. Don’t underestimate the power of peace of mind, too. Hiring someone to do your taxes so you know they are done well gives you peace of mind.  Start with a list of what you want to outsource in the future will give you something to work towards. There are lots of ways to outsource without having to pay a lot of money.  Is There Someone Who Can Do It Better Than Me?  Know your limits and capabilities and know when it’s time to hire an expert. Hiring an expert can look like purchasing a template or investing in a monthly subscription service. It doesn’t have to be a person that you hire. Either way, hiring someone to do work for you can save you time, money, and energy.  Through the end of June, use the code EMPOWER20 to get 20% off your Empowerment Call!
