How Letting Go And Trusting More Can Help You To Scale And Grow Your Business

Strategize Your Business Online with Dee Boswell-Buck

“You can't build your empire with just yourself, it's not possible. You will either burn yourself out or you'll lose…hone in on the specialty and the unique qualities and services that you provide your clients. That's your focus. That's why you built your business.”

—Melissa Haddad

Sometimes you have to take a step back so you can move forward.

In order to scale and grow, there’s only so far you can carry every aspect of the business before you need to outsource help.
Letting go is hard. Control. Finances. Habits.

But just like the leap of faith you took with the first step on this journey, you’ll know when it’s time to let go — to trust yourself, the process, and others to care for your business.

If you’re not able to hire full-time help, outsourcing to a Virtual Assistant (VA), who will work remotely on your business for as many hours as you need or can afford, is the first step to hiring an in-house employee.

VAs can be highly specialized or provide general support. By trusting your VA to do some of the tasks you can afford to let go of or can’t afford to take time to learn to do, this means you can truly focus on working in your business rather than on it.

Melissa Haddad is the founder and owner of Efficient Business Solutions, which provides VA services and end-to-end business support for entrepreneurs.

She joins me on this episode of Strategize Your Business Online to share how, when and why you should hire a VA to help you build your vision and the life you want.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

• How end-to-end business support services can help to develop long-term business strategies based on your vision
• Why LinkedIn is the place to be for B2B opportunities and connections as more companies shift to remote working
• The benefits of hiring a VA to complete fractional work on areas of your business that may be confidential or unsuitable for current employees to take on
