When starting a small business it can be all too tempting to try and take it all on yourself. Who else will work on it as hard or as passionately as you?

Unfortunately, doing this means many business owners will overload themselves and burn out, or be unable to grow the business any further.

To grow and avoid burn out most businesses will reach a point where they need to source outside help, and in this week’s episode we’ll be discussing everything you need to know about doing this.

To begin, Sarah and Brian discuss:

-      The reasons many don’t realise they need help

-      The reasons you should get help

-      The ways Sarah sources help for her business

Sarah is then joined by Ingrid Mansley from Unearthed Homewares.

Ingrid is also an amazing interior designer based in Cowra and has had to look for help as she expands her retail business and design business.

In today’s episode Ingrid shares:

-      How she knows when she needs help

-      Her tips for determining if an outsourced helper is good enough

-      At what stage you should start planning to outsource work

Key Quotes:

“The reality of trying to do everything yourself means that you do nothing exceptionally well”

“It’s just so hard juggling everything”

“Look for someone you trust to do the elements you cannot physically keep up with”
