ARE YOU STUCK IN YOUR BUSINESS

The internet is a brilliant invention. It has changed the way that we live our lives. It has made it possible to work from home, it has helped us to stay connected with friends and family all across the world and it has given us access to an endless stack of resources for learning. However, all this technology can be pretty exhausting. When we are constantly bombarded with notifications or trying to juggle our inboxes on top of everything else on our plate, we can end up feeling like we’re barely keeping up. And at some point in time, there will come a day when the only way to free up some time is by paying someone else to do what you were doing. The simple principal is: 1. Audit the task. 2. Transfer the Task. 3. Fill the Task with awesome people, preferably with people who can handle multiple roles. Note: These people can be local, distributed around Australia or overseas depending on the role. So how do you decide what tasks you should delegate? The five steps are as follows: 1. Determine what task you are stuck on. Chances are this is an admin function and it’s managing your inbox and your calendar. This could also include running around and researching for you. 2. Discover where you are stalled. This is likely to be customer service.

If you are still working on the tools, you don’t have all day to talk to

customers and either sell to them or solve their problems. Having someone to onboard and support your customers is essential. 3. Work out what is causing friction. Unless you are a marketing business, marketing can take up a bucket of time and really bog you down. Getting someone to take this pressure off you as the business owner will free up lots of your time. Ideally this person will create content, publish content and process your email/social programs. 4. Work towards a feeling of freedom. Take yourself out of the sales process, have a professional to take sales calls, do the follow up and send the proposals. 5. Go with the flow. By now you probably need an Executive Leadership

Team who can assist you with the Strategy and Leadership of your business. Ultimately, there are thousands of tasks that need to be completed daily to run a business. You need to determine what tasks are the best use of your time and outsource the rest. Million Dollar companies are not built by the owner/founder completing $10 tasks. ca
