Don’t Ever Outsource These Things

Artwork for Dawn of a New Era episode 79: Don’t Ever Outsource These Things

Show Notes

In today’s podcast, we're going to cover the things that you should never outsource. I always talk about decluttering, I always talk about delegating, but there are some things that honestly, from working and running my own business since I was 21, I know what to keep in the business and what to outsource.

We want to keep the magic in the business, you want to save the magic for yourself. You and your team are what makes the business. You know your mission, your vision, you are the core. There are certain things that you are always going to do better within the business.
