Hiring vs. outsourcing is one of the biggest decisions you'll make as a business owner — and the right choice can save you time, money, and your sanity. In this episode, we break down the real differences between outsourcing support and hiring in-house so you can confidently decide what your business needs next.

We share how to think like a CEO when evaluating help: understanding the ROI of investing in support, the true cost of your time, and why "cheaper" rarely means better. We talk through how outsourcing can help you grow faster—especially when you need specialized support, short-term help, or aren't ready for a full-time salary on your payroll. You'll also learn the signs that it's time to hire, how to avoid hiring too early, why proper onboarding is non-negotiable, and the mindset shifts every leader must make around trust, delegation, and long-term commitment.

Whether you're scaling your team, testing a new service, or just drowning in your task list, this episode gives you the clarity you need to choose between hiring and outsourcing — so you can protect your time, increase your revenue, and operate like the CEO you are.
