139. The toxic loop of doing it all yourself

What if I told you that the right time to hire…is immediately after you start your bookkeeping business? It might sound insane. Most people think that you need to build your business BEFORE you start even thinking about hiring—a totally natural assumption to make. However, there’s something that happens when you wait to hire… You tell yourself that once you have five, ten, or even fifteen clients, you’ll be ready to hire. Until you’re making enough money to bring on someone new without feeling the financial stretch, you’ll just keep doing it alone. But then you get two or three clients, and you’re already nearing capacity. Your ability to do the job well drops off. You start floundering, burning out, struggling to mean deadlines… And you haven’t even come CLOSE to your client goal. Don’t fall into the toxic cycle of doing it alone. Let’s go over why you need to start hiring NOW.   EPISODE RESOURCES: If you're looking for more tips for bookkeeping, insight on how to become a bookkeeper, and how to say hello to a more confident business model, enroll in Become A Bookkeeper (BABs).  To learn about the programs and get a peek behind the curtain, head to www.katieferro.com/6-secrets.
