If you think that you have to have a big team to run a successful online business, I'm glad you've found this post.
I used to think the exact same thing, but my experience has taught me otherwise.
When I first started my business, like so many of you, I was a solopreneur. I didn't have the extra money to pay someone when I was trying to simply pay myself.
So, I dedicated most of my time to the business, creatively thinking about it and providing for my family. This approach worked well for a while.
As I started taking on more marketing responsibilities, I began considering hiring a team.
Industry advice pointed me towards hiring for admin work: scheduling clients, sending contracts, etc.
These tasks never quite justified the need for hiring someone in my mind. I instead thought about the areas where hiring help would directly contribute to generating revenue.
My first hire was a Virtual Assistant (VA) for contracted work, specifically for marketing-related tasks.
I remember feeling nervous about the financial commitment, but it quickly paid off.
This small hire allowed me to reclaim valuable time, which I used to focus on revenue-generating activities like hosting live events and webinars.
From there, I began to think hiring a big team was needed - boy was I wrong.
