81. Outsourcing made easy (with Lisa Tennant)

So you know you should be working ON your business as well as IN it, but how do you actually do that when you're busy? If you've got more work than you can handle, need some help to trim your to-do list, or want to outsource but are not quite sure where to start, this episode is for you.

Outsourcing expert Lisa Tennant runs a virtual assistant service and joins me on this episode to talk about all things delegation and outsourcing. Letting someone else into our business for the first time can be a daunting prospect, but Lisa shares some great tips about how to go about it.

Our chat includes:

• Why do we find it so hard to delegate
• How to know when it's the right time to start outsourcing
• How to carry out a time audit
• How to not be a control freak about outsourcing (lol)
• Finding people you can trust
