Letters From A Hopeful Creative

Let’s talk about outsourcing and building a team


Listen Later

In today’s episode we dive into this letter from a listener:

Right now I’m taking a good hard look at what I can outsource in my business so that I can be free to do the stuff that I really love. Sara, you mentioned that you have an executive assistant, Jen do you ? If not, I’m really curious to know why not. I genuinely wonder whether it can potentially complicate the goal of a simple and spacious business when we employ people? On the other hand, thinking we can do everything ourselves more easily than outsourcing it can be a trap. I also wondered whether you both have ongoing sessions with your own business coaches or do you feel your work business buddies are enough?

- Denise

In today’s episode we explore why Sara has intentionally built a team in her business and why Jen intentionally hasn’t, the pros and cons of each path, and why the most important thing when it comes to outsourcing is making the most intentional decision for you and your business.
