09: Is It Time To Hire Help?

Makers Gonna Sell: A Podcast for Creative Entrepreneurs with Cheryl Ham and Nicky Avery

Are you so busy working IN your business that there’s no time left to work ON your business?

We’ve all said it, “There aren’t enough hours in the day.”

It really does feel that way when you’re wearing all the hats in your creative business. And it can be downright impossible to embrace the visionary role that your business requires of you when you’re bogged down with perpetual product making and never-ending to-do lists!

But guess what? We all get the same 24 hours each and every day. It’s what you do with them that counts.

Imagine what it would feel like if you had an extra set of hands every now and then. Would it change your life if you could take a day off (or *gasp* go on vacation) all the while things are still getting done?

Hiring is a big step, and you might be thinking, “Yeah, that all sounds great, but I’m not even paying myself yet! How the heck am I going to hire someone?”

In today’s episode we’re going to walk you through getting the right type of help without breaking the bank, and why it might be the best thing you can do for your business.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• 1:00: Are you being pulled in too many directions?
• 5:54: The different shapes and sizes of hiring help.
• 28:26: Finding the right fit is sometimes trial and error.
• 32:30: Do you really need to spend money to make money?
• 40:59: Where do you find the help you need?

...and so much more!
