102: Why Freelancers Should Outsource Their Weaknesses So They Can Focus on Their Business Strengths
Laura Briggs is a freelance writer and entrepreneur who threw out her entire business model at the end of 2015. She was sick of working on unfulfilling contracts and outsourcing her work to subcontractors – a process that seemed to add far more work and frustration.
Instead of continuing down Burnout Boulevard, she fired half her clients and kicked off the new year with some commitments, one of which was to only work with clients and subcontractors who allowed her to grow my business the way she wanted to.
In this episode, Laura and I talk about why and how she made a major pivot in her business, the importance of knowing when it’s time to outsource and how to go about the hiring process to find the perfect team member for your business.
