Do you have too much work to do? Are you cracking under your workload? Do you miss taking care of the parts of your business that you love?

It may be time for you to get some help!

But wait — you don’t have to jump straight to hiring an employee. Sometimes that feels too far out of reach.

There are, in fact, a few critical steps you should take BEFORE you bring someone on, and these steps can make a HUGE impact on your clarity, focus, and workload.

The key is to know when is the right time to do the right thing. And that’s what we want to talk about today.

Work ON your business, not IN it

In this episode the team looks at the all too common mistake of taking on too much of your business’ workload. There is no honor in trying to do everything yourself and you will more than likely run yourself into the ground and ruin your business in the process.

That does not mean you need to hire a person for every single task either. Again, the idea is to balance your abilities, passions and obligations to maximum effect.

Basically, you may need a simple reminder on the difference between working ON your business and working IN your business.

So, let’s define some tools, systems and services and how to organize your businesses tasks by their importance so you can have more clarity and focus in your day to day.

If you’ve been feeling like you have too much on your plate or there are tasks that you just really wish you did not have to do, this is the episode that can help you figure out your strategy! Enjoy!
