Before coming to me for coaching, a client of mine was so sick and tired of the long hours he had been working for years that he wanted to get out of his business.
We found he was spending 20 hours a week on general paperwork that could easily be done by an administrative assistant. Since this has happened he is enjoying his business and focusing on business growth.
If you want to grow your business and also have free time, you need help. When you first start out in business, you will no doubt do most things yourself, yet to continue trying to keep control of every task that needs doing by handling everything yourself, you'll never be able to grow your business successfully. You'll run out of time, burn yourself out and put a lid on your profits. You cannot be an expert in all areas.
There are many ways you can get help but first you need to be clear as to what you need done otherwise you can waste more time and money.
Take stock of where you are now and see which areas outlined below you can outsource so that you can spend your time on what you are good at, allowing you to free up your time to focus on the growth of your business:
1. Bookkeeping
2. Website maintenance
3. Design
4. Marketing
5. Childcare
6. Printing
7. Cleaning
8. Secretarial
9. Telemarketing |
