You Can Do Anything, Just Not Everything: Why You Should Hire Support For Your Business
In this Self StartHER episode, we chat with Ashley Carlson, a trailblazer in admin and operations support. Ashley shares her inspiring journey from freelancing to building a thriving business that empowers small businesses and female entrepreneurs with admin, executive assistant support, and bookkeeping.
Key Points:
Background:
Inspired by her entrepreneurial father, Ashley decided not to return to a full-time office job after becoming a mother.
Six years ago, remote work was scarce, prompting her to start freelancing.
During the pandemic, she used her husband's job loss as an opportunity to build her business while he was home.
Growth and Empowerment:
The pivotal moment of hiring her first employee helped her realize the importance of delegation.
Ashley emphasizes that effective delegation is key to maintaining a work-life balance, especially for aspiring female entrepreneurs.
Top Delegation Tips:
Set clear expectations with your team.
Document and record all processes for consistency.
Current Success:
Ashley now leads a team of 14 women dedicated to supporting businesses with comprehensive admin services.
Quotes:
"The more I said yes, the more I was actually becoming unavailable to my family and those flexibilities that I originally wanted and valued."
