By learning how to use outsourcing at every stage of business, you can manage your time more wisely and focus on long-term goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recently hosted a panel with three HoneyBook Pros to get the best tips about outsourcing and working with experts.

This will be clear if you know you\u2019re ready for the next step in your business but you can\u2019t get there without help. You may also notice blockers that you need to hand off to feel more at ease with your workload. If there are tasks that someone else can do in less time, it\u2019s a good idea to invest in the right help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some signs that it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/how-to-get-started-with-outsourcing\">time to invest in outsourcing<\/a>: <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>You feel like you\u2019re always running short on time and like you\u2019re never checking anything off your to-do list.<\/li>\r\n<li>You complete daily tasks that you wouldn\u2019t pay someone your rate to do. This means you\u2019re losing money.<\/li>\r\n<li>Some of the work drains you instead of excites you, or it isn\u2019t part of your zone of genius.<\/li>\r\n<li>You feel you\u2019re ready to put trust in others with your work.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>You\u2019re capable of follow-through and meeting the needs of anyone who might be working with you.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might relate to many of these signs, but still think you can\u2019t outsource. Many business owners have the misconception that you need to be well established to <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/how-to-balance-and-scale-your-business-through-outsourcing\">start outsourcing<\/a>, but finding support is for everyone regardless of your business stage. In fact, it\u2019s hard to become more established if you don\u2019t outsource.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re focused on every small task in your business, you won\u2019t ever have the time to focus on the broader strategy and growth. You might be just a few critical resources away from business success, which is why outsourcing is an important investment in yourself. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Hire and Manage Help for Your Business<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re ready to outsource, it\u2019s time to find the right partners. HoneyBook Pro Terry Rice recommends getting in front of your audience, whether it\u2019s on LinkedIn, Instagram or elsewhere, and asking for recommendations. From there, do your due diligence by reaching out directly to testimonials and asking about their experiences. Having a good idea of what you want and need will help you find the best pool of candidates.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vetting Potential Partners<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re interviewing candidates, ask about their industry-relevant experience. Along with the skills, someone with experience in your niche will have some knowledge about your business. This can allow them to get up to speed faster with your specific goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay attention to the questions your candidates ask you as well. A vendor takes orders, while a partner can understand your blind spots and offer powerful solutions. If they\u2019re already eager to understand the ins and outs of your business, they\u2019ll be a great fit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that you may need to invest to find the best partner. You can offer compensation for a hiring test to see how different candidates complete the work. This way, you can assess their skills as well as their working style. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Determining What to Take On vs. What to Hand Off<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to managing vs. <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/how-to-delegate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"delegating\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">delegating<\/a>, start by writing out all of your daily tasks. Where are you spending your time? You might be surprised! Put a dollar value on each task to determine what you should prioritize, and consider what you love doing as well. Are you working in your zone of genius? From there, you\u2019ll have a clear picture of what you should handoff. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>As business owners, we can absolutely do every task, but we don\u2019t need to. It\u2019s about figuring out where we should be spending money vs. what we can do best.<\/p>\r\n<cite>Ally Bauer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will also be a give-and-take process with your to-do list. When you outsource, there may be set-up work you need to do up-front to provide direction before handing off tasks. As a business owner, you should always have the final call. This means you won\u2019t necessarily be able to unplug from everything, but anything that saves you time in the long run is worth it. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prepare for Delegating<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delegating takes trust, and trust takes time and communication. Before delegating, make sure you and your outsource partners are willing to communicate about needs and requirements. Take the time to determine what each team member wants to do and excels at.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HoneyBook Pro Sydney Lynn Young reminds us that delegating responsibilities makes your partners take pride in their work and feel more excited about what they\u2019re bringing to the table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When delegating, always be clear about the expectations and outcomes. Give your idea of what success means, and communicate clearly.\u00a0 As business owners, we should always be setting the expectations for clients, this pertains to our partners as well. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>You can hire an expert and give them horrible information, and you\u2019ll get horrible outcomes. Clarity is the precursor to confidence.<\/p>\r\n<cite>Terry Rice<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiring a Coach for Business Success<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s one thing to hire a partner who can take tasks off your plate, but how do you know when it\u2019s time to hire a business coach? Our HoneyBook Pros say it\u2019s best to work with a coach when you\u2019re struggling with the direction of your business. Don\u2019t hire a coach just because you think you need to, but make sure you have a sense of your end goal first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re hiring, interview enough people to get a feel for how they align with your values. You\u2019ll need to feel comfortable with them and also have confidence that they understand your clients\u2019 needs too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coaches are experts in their field, so they should already have structured processes in place. Before hiring, spend time to understand if that process will guide you to the end result you\u2019re looking for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With business coaches, it\u2019s even more important than other partners to also find someone who complements your personality. Their recommendations should make sense for you and your strengths. Above all, you should feel a connection to know that they\u2019re the right fit for you and your business. Trust your gut!<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Are the HoneyBook Pros?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking to get help for the next stage of business growth, consider exploring <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pros.honeybook.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HoneyBook Pros<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
