As solopreneurs and small business owners, we often get stuck doing tasks that we really need to delegate or hire someone else to do. We tell ourselves that it only takes a few minutes, or we don’t have time to train someone, or we’ll do it later. The problem is that a bottleneck occurs (us!) that limits our business growth. As the business owner, we should be focusing on doing the activities that drive revenue. My guest, Jamara Wilson, has a great insight into this and helps me through some of my own thinking on this topic. Jamara is CEO & President of Tuxedo Impressions LLC, a company whose mission is to help small businesses create efficiency in their daily operations to sustain growth by using technology that will support your company values and culture. In this episode, we talk about: When businesses come to Jamara (what are they facing) Symptoms vs problems in your business (this is a really key point) Resistance to change Finding the time to create processes As business owners, we need to focus on what we do that drives revenue Technology isn’t enough Hiring VA’s and other team members The software and apps Jamara uses in her own business and why she chose them Apps we mention: Asana HubSpot CRM Zapier G-Suite/Google Apps Links: Jamara's website = https://www.tuxedoimpressions.com/ Jamara's Instagram = @JamaraWilson Jamara's Twitter = @TrulyJamara Join the free Speaking Your Brand community at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/join/.
