As solopreneurs we’re used to wearing many hats and doing many things by ourselves, but if you want to grow and scale your business there comes a point where you have to start outsourcing tasks and subsequently, building a team. And this comes with its own set of struggles. My guest today is here to talk all about the messy middle of scaling and growing your business as a solopreneur!
Kelsey Kerslake is Founder and Creative Director of Pinegate Road. She is also a mentor for online business owners. Her passion is supporting online service providers, coaches, and educators to help them lead businesses and live lives that are fulfilling and profitable. Over the last decade, she has helped hundreds of online business owners build their brands and online presences, while successfully running a sustainable 6-figure virtual design agency.

- How and why Kelsey started her agency
- Challenges of scaling your business and how to overcome them
