IN THIS EPISODE:

Today we’re going to be talking all about how outsourcing can make you more money in your business. For the longest time, I was a one woman show, I felt that I could get it done faster or the way that other people couldn't, all those sorts of things.

I would recommend outsourcing as soon as you can, for most people realistically it’s around the time that they are making around $3,000 to $5,000 per month sometimes sooner. When we start our businesses, we are wearing a lot of hats and it’s crazy how we can wear all of them at once.

You’re the CEO, business owner, a fitness coach, doing all social media management, doing all marketing, doing all graphic design, accountant, data collection, creating all of my own content, IG post content, email marketing content and so much more. There’s a lot that we need to do and it can begin to feel extremely overwhelming.

We’re going to do a quick exercise!

Draw a line right down the middle and horizontally creating 4 separate quadrants, labelling them Quadrant #1, Quadrant #2, Quadrant #3, Quadrant #4. This is brain dumb time!

Quadrant #1: Label it ‘Love’ and here is where you’re going to list that you love and that you’re great at, which is typically your zone of genius. & list 2 or 3 things down.

Quadrant #2: Things that you like, you’re good at, you don’t mind it. List things that you enjoy doing some of the time. This quadrant has things that you’ll do until you’re ready to learn and grow.

The next two  are things that you’ll want to look to outsource as soon as you decide to begin outsourcing.

Quadrant #3: Things that you dislike, that you’re good at.

Quadrant #4: Things that you dislike, that you’re not good at.

Look at some of the things that you do everyday that you hate.

Looking at some logistics, if you were spending 5 hours a week right now creating something, this is 5 hours that you could potentially be taking sales calls. Let’s say you close 2 of them, that is money that you are missing out on. You can outsource those 5 hours of work for $10- whatever you guys agree on. There is so much more potential for you to grow your business, but you're instead doing all these tasks that you aren’t doing anything to bring in more money for your business. You are leaving money on the table by doing those smaller tasks that you can outsource for a smaller task.

Should I outsource things that I don’t know how to do?

My answer is going to be no. My answer would be no because I want to understand how to do the work that way I can be a better manager and understand the work that I need them to do. There is a big difference between knowing the basics of a task and asking them to just do it for you or if there is even a way to do it. You will also be able to ask better questions when looking to hire because you know the basics of the projects. At the end of the day it’s going to help you a lot more in your business.

One of my biggest beliefs in my business is that I want to know how to do it myself, that way I can teach my assistant how to do it or I can ask the right questions.

If I can do it the way I like, why shouldn't I do it all myself?

Let me ask you, if that direct task that you’re doing going to directly lead you to your next sale? Is it directly going to put money in your bank account. If you’re not in a space to outsource right now, you need to start to replace some of those tasks that you are doing right now, with things that are actually going to bring you money.

Some action steps: Do that exercise, that quick brain dump to get yourself thinking of what you can outsource. Some ideas could be, social media scheduling/posting, uploading/editing blog post, blog post posting, Pinterest, graphics, formatting ebooks, email newsletters, client on-boarding process, delivering digital products or files, follow ups, email sequences, editing/show notes for podcast and don’t forget that you can do personal things too like laundry and cleaning!

Really utilize that quadrant to decide what you love to do and dislike doing, so that you can begin to decide what you’re going to outsource by showing your team how you run.

For me, the turn that I had was putting it out on paper and realizing what I was actually missing out on by not delegating.
