One of the biggest struggles we see here at BizWorks with
our member small business owners is what services they should hire out and what
tasks they should do themselves. So many
times small business owners think they should do everything themselves. We try to help them understand that a as a
small business owner you can be everything to everyone. It’s important for you to take time to look
at what skill sets you have and what you lack.
This is a time to be honest with yourself. If you aren’t good with numbers or they give
you a headache, hire a bookkeeper. If you don’t’ have the sales personality or
skill set hire someone to help you.
When people try to take on more than they can manage and
frankly more than they have the talent to handle, they end up burned out and
not happy being a business owner. There
really aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything a small business owner
needs to do to run their business efficiently.
Also, when you spend all your time doing the drudge work of the day to
day operations it leaves you no time to actually do the thing you got into
business to do! So, take a good hard
look at what you love to do, what you hate to do and figure out what pieces you
can hire out. It WILL make you a happier
business owner.
