episode 135: Outsourcing Your Business with Nathan Hirsch | Ep. 135
When building our business, how do we start outsourcing those things that are not part of our core expertise? One solution is to hire a virtual assistant. Start outsourcing that work to someone that can do it at a fee that makes sense for your business and will do it better than you can.
Today we talk all through the processes of how you build outsourcing into your business, how to get through those initial barriers, and why outsourcing certain tasks is so important.
Highlights:
- Learn all the ways your business will benefit
- Understand the three different outsourcing levels
- Find out what to look for when hiring
- Become familiar with common outsourcing pitfalls and how to avoid them
- Get tips for business growth
Quotes:
"A lot of people don't realize how powerful that is when you can focus your time on what you're really good at, the high-level parts of your business. You can quickly delegate a lot of the smaller stuff or the things that are outside your core competency."
"I try to encourage people to not focus on things you can't control. Focus on the things you can control, which is your system for interviewing, onboarding, training, and managing virtual assistants or hires in general."
"Understanding what different levels you need is the first step of hiring. Then you can get creative on exactly what you want to
"We didn't just wake up one day and hire thirty-five VAs, cross our fingers, and hope it worked out. We had real systems, real processes that we put into place. Everything from bonuses and raises to how we ran meetings, how we reduce turnover, to how we fired someone if it didn't work out."
