Solopreneurs hit a wall between $300K and $1M because hiring eats into thin margins. Do a calendar audit to find what to delegate, start with a VA for admin work, then use the freed-up time to grow the business instead of just working in it.
Chapters
300K to a million in revenue is no man's land. You're trying to go from basically a maxed out solopreneur to a company with a few full time employees. It's really painful hiring these people because they're expensive compared to what you're used to and you don't have a ton of margin to pay them. But you also don't have time to grow the business because you're still stuck doing all the work. Dan Martell's book buy back your time is super helpful here. So he says, don't hire to grow the business, hire to buy back your time. So, so just doing a calendar audit, like what am I spending all my time on? And then building a job description based off of that might show you, hey, maybe I just need to hire a simple VA to clean up some of this admin stuff and that gets the ball rolling, right? I get a few hours a week back, I can invest that into marketing. I grow the business, I use that new revenue to go hire somebody really high level to do all the delivery work and suddenly my calendar is just open.
