Knowing when to outsource and how to outsource are two very different things. Fortunately, recognizing when to outsource tasks is often the easy part.
It’s time to outsource when you’re so overwhelmed that moving forward feels impossible. Or when your business isn’t growing because you’re stuck handling tasks that don’t directly contribute to your bottom line. These are clear signals that it’s time to seek support.
The harder part? Knowing how to outsource. For many, it can feel like giving up control—and that’s intimidating. But what if you shifted your perspective? Instead of seeing it as losing control, think of it as gaining more time in your day.
When you see outsourcing as an investment in buying back your time rather than spending money, delegating becomes easier. By handing off tasks you think only you can do, you open the door to focusing on what truly matters.
One of the biggest challenges I see when helping people is getting them to recognize which tasks they can delegate. Entrepreneurs, in particular, often have a "get-shit-done" mentality and struggle to let go. They don’t realize that hiring a specialist—like us at Girl Friday—can help them ramp up delegating their tasks quickly and efficiently without the long learning curve of hiring someone inexperienced.
Also, most people only need a few hours a week. Finding someone highly qualified for just a few hours can be tough, which is why Girl Friday exists.
At Girl Friday, we specialize in providing skilled professionals to handle the tasks that weigh you down—from home management and budget tracking to inbox organization and everything in between. Whether you need help for a few hours a week or with a specific project, we’re here to step in.
