327. The Real Cost of DIY: When to Invest in Help for Your Business


Listen Later

You're "saving money" by doing everything yourself, but your revenue is stuck and your to-do list is screaming at you. 🚀

Here's the truth: DIY isn't saving you money—it's costing you in delayed revenue, creative energy, and time you could spend growing your online course business. I've lived through every version of this, from doing it all myself to over-hiring in panic mode, and I'm sharing exactly when it's time to stop white-knuckling everything.

In this episode, I walk you through the stages of business growth and show you when DIY makes sense versus when it becomes dangerous for course creators. Whether you're hitting your first 5K months or scaling past 20K, you'll learn how to make smart hiring decisions that don't blow your budget or fuel your fear.

🔥 In This Episode:

  • The three hidden costs of DIY that drain your profit and delay revenue

  • What to outsource at 5K, 20K, and beyond without over-hiring

  • Seven clear signs it's time to stop DIYing and get help

  • The simple four-step framework for making smart hiring decisions

  • A three-column exercise to set up your most supported 2026

✨ Ready to make a bigger impact? Share this episode and leave a quick review! Your support helps more course creators discover how to scale their knowledge and change lives. When more people who help people succeed, the world becomes a better place. Thank you! 💫
