"I know I can do it. I'm just not getting it done."

How much is enough? How much work can you take on before you find that you are starting to lose control of your QUALITY? At what point, financially, do you finally make the jump and hire someone to HELP?
Many people ponder this question daily. Do I take on the next project? Do I take a pay cut to hire? How can I grow my business?
The concern is about what you are LOSING (control, finances, creative input) vs. what you gain (increased time, resources, opportunity to grow). We struggle with the balance, especially as entrepreneurs, mostly because we THINK we do everything best and no one else could ever replace us. HA HA HA… WOW THAT IS FUNNY!
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
The REALITY is that we are BARELY qualified to do a great majority of the tasks we are taking on daily in our work, ESPECIALLY if you are an entrepreneur!
In order for your to be the best bookkeeper and best creative director, you would be forced to tap into BOTH sides of your brain and outperform near all CPA's and Marketing Exec in the world. WOW you must be arrogant to think you can do that.
Take a note from the great Tim Ferriss of Four Hour Work Week fame. Work on the 20% you are best at. Work with the 20% of clients that matter most. Delegate or eliminate EVERYTHING else! EVERYTHING!!
If you are NOT the best at what you are doing… then YES, it is time for help.
Cheers,
Zach
