What You'll Discover In This Episode:
Let’s play a quick game.
Do you put pressure on yourself to fulfill the following roles in your business? Simply answer yes or no…
Serve the client? ✅ or ❌
Marketing? ✅ or ❌
Bookkeeping? ✅ or❌
Scheduling? ✅ or ❌
Janitorial duties? ✅ or ❌
Administrative tasks? ✅ or ❌
Replying to emails and voicemails? ✅ or ❌
Invoicing? ✅ or ❌
Purchasing supplies? ✅ or ❌
Project management? ✅ or ❌
Performing audits? ✅ or ❌
Updating branding? ✅ or ❌
Creating presentations? ✅ or ❌
If you answered YES to many of those roles (and possibly more), you are definitely wearing too many hats and having too many responsibilities. So, what’s up with that? Are you just trying to be the only hero in your business? Or do you possibly suffer from black and white, all or nothing thinking that leads you to believe your only choices are hiring a full-time employee OR doing everything all on your own?
Thankfully, times have changed. With today’s available technology and the shift in how people work, business owners have sooooo many options to get the support they need to be able to work ON their businesses instead of IN their businesses. There are expert independent contractors all over the world that would love to help you and your business, remotely or otherwise. No more are the days of having to wait until you can afford to employ someone for 40 hours a week (or simply have 40 hours of work to do for them, for that matter).
Believe me when I gently say, hey hero… it doesn’t need to be you! If you think outside the box, you’ll be able to get the support you need to reclaim time for your priorities and run a better, more joyful business.
In this episode of the Small Business Straight Talk Podcast, I dive into the many ways you can stop being the only hero in your story and get the support you need to grow your business, increase profits, and reduce the stress of running your business.
