Find out an effective documentation process to help you determine which tasks you need to hire someone for

Summary

When you first start your business, you're wearing all the hats and doing everything yourself. As your business grows, there is a need to delegate these tasks so you can focus more on scaling your business. This is where outsourcing is necessary.

You may think you’re the only one who knows everything you do in your business and that you can’t afford to hire somebody else to do it for you. But the reality is you can actually hire someone who is competent and knows their way around what you do. I promise, this will save you time and money.

You can actually make a list of all that you do in your business and ask yourself key questions like: Is this making me money? Should this be delegated? Is this a good use of my time?

Another exercise is to ask yourself what kind of business do you want to have? Is having freedom and ease a priority for you?

“When you think about systems, people think that sounds like constricting, but when you have systems, that's what gives you the time and freedom.”

Key Takeaways:

“You can get there in your business without systems. But if you are wanting to grow, and if you're thinking, ‘Okay, I'm ready to double that’, it is going to be hard to do that without burning yourself out.” - April Meese

“Here's the ugly truth and this is kind of the whole pill that I had to swallow that I was the reason and you might also be the reason that your business feels stuck.” - April Meese

“The energy that you're putting out is the energy that you're getting back. If you are thinking I want to grow, but I can't, because it's all up to me, it feels like it's all on your shoulders, you might be keeping yourself stuck.” - April Meese

“And what you're really looking for when you do all of the documentation is you want to find the costs that take you the longest amount of time but also have the lowest activity value. And this is what you want to hire for.” - April Meese

“And I really want you to get this because when you value your time and your energy, you start to have more time, energy, and money. When you start to see the importance of that, this is also about elevating your business.” - April Meese

“How you see your business determines what's possible for you. And I want you to let that soak in because your perspectives and your beliefs determine your actions.” - April Meese

“When you also start to document your processes, you start to realize where you can improve. And you start to see, ‘This is where I could do better.’ Or this is where we're missing a step or this is where things are kind of falling through.” - April Meese
