Outsourcing Your Business With Freelancers For Growth
“The Fastest Way To Scale Your Business And Not Lose Your Mind!”
Why It Was Hard For Us To Outsource Our Business
Hello. This is Matt with Operation Awesome Life. I want to talk to you about the importance of outsourcing your business and why it is one of the most difficult things to do when you are just starting out.
“Making the money was how we were going to quit our jobs and move forward with our lives.”
The idea of spending profits on having somebody else work in our business while we went to work didn’t seem right and so it was a very difficult concept for us at the time. So we put it off for a while and I basically started working day and night.
It got to a point where I started realizing if we didn’t start outsourcing our business we were really going to find ourselves in a position where we could no longer grow. The reason is simply because I was doing all the daily tasks and the businesses continued operation was completely on my shoulders.
This left almost zero time for me to spend on improving our business and growing it.
Taking The Plunge: Hiring Our First VA – How Outsourcing Can Take Your Business To Another Level!
After a while I started realizing there was no way around it. Getting help was absolutely imperative if I wanted to build a truly enjoyable business that continued to grow and prosper.
So we took the plunge into the unknown and hired one virtual assistant to start!
Almost instantly I felt a huge weight being lifted off of my shoulders, as I started slowly giving up control and training my new virtual assistant to help me.
Over time we have really taken outsourcing to a whole different level. Outsourcing our daily tasks, projects, and one off jobs. It has become an intricate focus of our business.
This allows us to continue focusing on building our business rather than maintaining it. And actually enjoying it!
If you are in a business, start asking yourself questions like:
- Is there anything about this process that I can outsource?
- Are there repetitive tasks I do everyday that I could have someone else do for me?
- Can I train someone else to do this work so that I can focus on building my business instead of just maintaining it?
- Are there tasks I don’t enjoy, or that I am not very good at? (these are great to outsource!)
- Are there tasks that I get stuck on that someone else might be able to do?
These are just a few questions, but they will get you started in the thinking process and mental side of outsourcing.
I think many people really concentrate a lot on how they want to have the whole piece of the pie. For instance, if you are making $5,000 a month and you want to keep the whole amount. It is very difficult to give away $500 or a $1,000 dollar of that money.
“But the thing is, giving away the $500 or a $1,000 could turn into you making $10,000 a month or $ 20000 a month.”
Some Benefits Of Outsourcing
- Focus On The Vital Growth Activities – Let the freelancer or VA handle the back end repetitive activities of the business.
- Cost Savings – Through outsourcing you can get tasks done ranging from low skill to high skill, and usually at a fraction of the price.
- Efficiency – Adding a freelancer will help you to increase your personal efficiency within your business.
- Increase In Your Business Skill Set – Projects that require skills you don’t currently possess can be handed to virtual assistants that know how to handle them.
- Peace Of Mind – Just knowing that someone else is working on your business with you can help you to feel less overwhelmed and optimistic.
It’s vital that you get the concept of outsourcing, relying upon other people, and giving up some of the control in your business. If you don’t you will most likely be stuck at a plateau at some point.
