Being a small business owner is challenging.
Your company’s potential for growth is constantly shifting.
Simply put, there are too many things to accomplish as your firm expands.
We become preoccupied with the details.
Normally, small business owners handle everything on their own — conduct interviews with clients, create business plans, manage finances, and many more. Even the smallest of the smallest tasks, such as deleting emails are part of their role, and while it seems like it’s harmless, these tiny tasks can consume your time — time you should be spending on the core of your business.
As the small business grows, it’s not ideal for you to still be doing all these things. You need to figure out how to find the time to concentrate on the wider picture when your small business expands. If you don’t, you’ll get bogged down in a plethora of regular tasks and be unable to advance on important strategic aspects of your business.
And how do you do this? By assigning tasks to others or outsourcing. What made this easier is that you don’t have to go through the daunting process of hiring. When you work with companies, such as ConceptDrop, you can just tell them what you need and they’ll help you find the right freelancer for the job.
Outsourcing might sound like another complicated task, especially if you’re new to it, but for business owners like you, it can help a lot. Here are some outsourcing benefits for small business:
1. Make incredible progress by drawing on the expertise of others, especially when it’s not your main competency. As a business owner, your skills are critical to growing your business, and that’s what you should focus on.
2. Increase productivity while reducing the “burn rate” without firing employees, since you work with freelancers on a project basis.
3. Save time and concentrate on the business’s key elements. This might involve planning your next “Big Thing,” launching your new product, or collaborating with potential partners.
However, I have to admit that there are still some tasks that I believe could have been delegated to someone with greater expertise.
Outsourcing has its own drawbacks, too, such as whether you should outsource a task depends on whether the other party can do it better (and whether “doing that thing better” is necessary), whether your time can be used efficiently elsewhere, and whether hiring a full-time employee instead of outsourcing is a better option for that task.
Going back to the broader picture: Avoid becoming the bottleneck if you want growth and success for your business, and one of the ways to do it is by delegating or outsourcing.
