When we’re first starting out in business, our problems usually boil down to finding our first clients, learning how to speak to our audience, finding our “why,”, etcetera. But as our businesses expand, we develop new, more complex problems, and the organization of our time and money becomes more difficult. This is typically when we are encouraged to “just get a VA,” and we might do that just because it feels like the next step. But is that really the best use of our time and money during this phase? I talk all about it with today’s guest, Brianna King. Brianna is a coach and systems strategist who helps busy moms and business owners cultivate their resilience through systems and teaches them how to add them to their lives to prevent commonly made mistakes when goal setting. Graduate of the Courageous Living Coach Certification Program, Brianna's is passionate about helping others and inspiring them daily. This is such an eye-opening conversation and I can’t wait for you to dive in with us.

 

Here are some things I’ve learned:

 

• Outsourcing a new person makes you a manager, and as a manager, your workload doubles.
• You’re not saving time or money when you have to train a new person and you don’t have an existing system.
• Virtual assistants, (VAs), work best fitting into existing systems – for a higher rate, an online business manager (OBM) will come in to create and oversee those systems.
• A customer relationship manager (CRM), is your database of client information and communication.
• A project management platform (PM), is the place where you organize and delegate tasks related to a project.
• Sometimes we need to step back and see the bigger picture, trusting that the systems we implement will be more sustainable over time.
• As a beginner, it pays to be scrappy as you figure out what your workflow is. But as you become more booked, you can apply the data you’ve gathered to create more streamlined operations.
