31 | How to Know When It’s Time to Grow Your Team (& What to Outsource First)

2022-08-30

I'm sure that you have probably heard many, many times that outsourcing is incredibly important for business growth.

That said though, I'm sure you've probably also wondered, “How do I know when it's time to outsource or hire into my team?”

I'm sure you're also probably wondering, “What should I even outsource?” Then of course, how you actually do that and the process behind it.

Whenever my business started growing, I kept hearing that I needed to outsource ASAP. The truth is, when I finally started growing, I grew pretty fast. I went from one 1:1 client to 12 1:1 clients in a matter of 3 months, and my income skyrocketed.

I was already feeling pressure to maintain what I had built, which was a very heavy burden for me to carry. So, what did I do? Well, I hired too many people to do too many things too fast. Obviously, I didn't think that’s what I was doing at the time. I thought I was being wise and investing in the future of my business, and truthfully, I thought it was going to free up a ton of time.

But guess what happened? This actually caused a lot more anxiety and actually made me feel a lot more pressure to maintain what I was doing, because now I had people that I needed to pay.

Here’s the thing. Outsourcing is wonderful and I highly, highly, highly recommend it.

I just outsourced too much, too fast.

The truth is, I didn't know how to run a team, and I didn't know how to be a CEO. I knew how to be a content creator and a coach, but I didn't truly know how to run a company. Because I didn't know how to do that, even though I had a solid system for myself and for the processes, it was a bit of a disaster and was no longer in alignment with me.
