The Benefits of OUTSOURCING
By: The Visual Collective
Let me start by asking you this…
How many hats are you currently wearing in your business?
Are you a Sole Trader? An Entrepreneur? Mumpreneur? Or maybe you’re a Side Hustler?
AND on top of this, you’re also expected to be a graphic designer, a marketing manager, a social media expert & a content creator?!
If you’re anything like me, then you probably tried to do it ALL at the start, maybe you still are!
BUT, once you realise how important it is to stay in your lane… your zone of genius, and simply OUTSOURCE the rest, you’ll notice a HUGE difference in your business!
Here are just some of the MANY ways outsourcing can benefit you & your business…
1. It Increases Efficiency & Productivity
I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but I’ll say it again…Time is Money
And trying to do EVERYTHING yourself probably isn’t the best use of your precious time!
Stick to your strengths, and outsource the tasks that you find challenging, this will free up your time to work on the things that you know you’re good at. Not only will this increase your efficiency but you’ll find your business as a whole becomes much more productive, allowing you to focus your efforts in other areas.
2. It Reduces Stress
If you’re not having to worry about completing every task yourself, you’ll not only notice the physical difference in your business’s productivity, but you’ll FEEL the difference.
This is a big one for me… I do what I do because I genuinely LOVE it, and the overwhelm of a million tasks can take away from this experience. Outsourcing the tasks that I know are going to cause me added stress has been a lifesaver!
3. It Allows you to Work to Your Strengths
If you’re not having to spend extra hours figuring out the tasks that you have no idea how to do, you can put more of your time and energy into the ones that you LOVE!
This makes work so much more enjoyable, and when you love what you do it translates into the work that you produce!
It’s a win for you & your clients!
4. Outsourcing will Improve Your Work/Life Balance
When every waking hour is consumed by your work, life often gets pushed to the side…
This is where resentment starts to creep in, and the little business that you LOVE starts to become more of a hassle than a dream job and this is the LAST place you want to end up!
Outsourcing is a great way to make more time for all of the other things that you love in life!
5. You get to Collaborate with other Professionals
There’s nothing quite like finding like minded individuals who share your passions to work alongside…
Sometimes 2 hands really are better than 1! You might learn a thing or two in the process…
Nobody knows everything, and outsourcing is a great way to get another perspective, or expert advice in an area that you aren’t so sure about!
It can be daunting, trust me, I get it! Your business is your baby, and it’s hard handing over responsibilities to other people.
As long as you find someone who shares your values, and is ready to work to the standards that you expect, then it will all be worth it tenfold!
No matter what stage of business you’re currently in, working with people who specialise in areas that you find challenging can make a world of difference to the growth and success of your business.
