A founder at $500k revenue compares common tasks to find what to delegate first. Bookkeeping tops the list because most founders lack the expertise. Data entry ranks lowest on ROI, especially now that AI can handle it.
Inbox or scheduling? Neither at that point, but I'm going to say scheduling. Scheduling or bookkeeping? Bookkeeping, yeah. You need to get somebody to watch your books. You probably have no idea what the heck you're doing. Bookkeeping or social media? Bookkeeping. Do your own social media at that point. Bookkeeping or customer support? Bookkeeping. You should start to get some help with customer support, but again, bookkeeping, you don't know what the heck you're doing. Bookkeeping or recruiting? Bookkeeping, do your own recruiting at $500K. Bookkeeping or data entry? Oh, data entry. Yeah, especially with AI. My God, nobody should be doing data entry at this point. Data entry or vendor management? Data entry. Data entry or travel? Data entry. Book your own travel, you're not going anywhere. Data entry or invoicing? Uh, you know, I'm gonna still stick with data entry because invoicing, it's kind of nice actually to send out that money. Data entry or reporting? Uh, data entry. Reporting can be done with AI and tools. So is data entry the most important thing to delegate? It is. It's one of the lowest ROI things that, you know, you could be doing, and now thanks to technology, you just don't have to.
