Choose your battles, outsource the rest

As a small business owner, wearing multiple hats is a natural state of existence. You have to juggle business admin, accounting, marketing, lead generation, sales, as well as a plethora of other activities. Unfortunately, this often means, that your limited time and resources are not always spent on what you do the best. As your business grows you recognise, that you can’t do it all alone. So, you must learn to choose your battles and outsource the rest.

A black and white image of a sword as the visual representation of the need for small businesses to choose their battles and outsource the rest to create a strategic advantage so they can spend time on what they do best.

Outsourcing is a strategic decision

While this may seem the inevitable choice, we are often reluctant to do so. Why? Two of the main objections I frequently come across is cost and the fear of losing control. But did you ever stop to consider, how much it is actually costing you to have to look after menial task or trying to manage areas outside your skillset or comfort zone?

When you outsource undesirable tasks, you’re not relinquishing control; you’re making a strategic decision to prioritise your time and energy. By delegating tasks outside your expertise, you create room to excel in your strengths. This will boost productivity and enhance job satisfaction, leading to better-quality products or services and increased client satisfaction.

There are fantastic service providers out there regardless of if you are looking for an accountant, legal advice, marketing experts or support services. If you find it daunting to find the right fit for you, consult reviews, reach out to your peers for recommendations. Most providers also offer freebies – in the forms of downloadable materials, consultations, or trials – or have introductory offers before long-term commitments have to be made.

In my experience, you can make the most of these if you have a clear vision of what you want to achieve and what resources are you able to allocate. This will help your chosen supplier to tailor their offerings to your needs and set mutually clear expectations for the scope of your collaboration and speed up the onboarding process.
