I saw this quote under the emails signature from my guest Tess Maribao, founder of WorQ Out LLC. I thought it was an interesting quote – as a small business owner we like to take on a lot of tasks, and most of us would like to do it all. Is it at all possible?
Many small business owners (myself included) work nights and weekends. We even work on holidays. Whenever we are lucky enough to go on a vacation, we still respond to emails and work calls. We say yes to all tasks and we are confident that we can handle it all. Is there such things as work and life balance for small business owners?
Tess suggests to make a list for all the tasks you perform on a weekly basis, most importantly list the tasks that you do most often but hate to do. These repetitive tasks are the ones that can be delegated to others such as a business support specialist like WorQ Out LLC. Some business owners may have a hard time of letting go, and want to have full control of their business. She suggests to start with small mundane tasks such as setting appointments and calendar managements, then slowly add more tasks to the list handled by others. Much like building a relationship, trust will develop over time as the owners are more comfortable with others handling part of the business. That is how you can start transitioning and evolve the business. Even with popularity of automation software, business support specialists like Tess are still valuable because you get humans who care about your business as much as you do, and can evaluate situations and problems with a level of sensitivity.
