You've started your own business, and it's doing well. Better than well, actually! You have more work to do than you have hours in the day.

It's a good problem to have.

Only, you don't spend as much time you like pitching new opportunities to grow your business. Or maybe you've actually had to turn down some exciting, lucrative offers because you simply already have too much on your plate.

Maybe you're worried about burning out, because you're spending all your time dealing with the minutiae of your business and not the strategy of your business.

Sounds like it's time to grow your team and hire the help you need, so that you can turn your attention to the tasks that will bring in more revenue and take your business to the next level! It's a thrilling turning point in your entrepreneurial career, but it can also be pretty scary to take that leap and relinquish the control you've had over all the aspects of your business up until this point.
The tasks that are really bringing in those high profits, that's where you need to be. Not dealing in the day to day, hundred dollar tasks.
