Thinking of ways to scale up my business is exciting...
...and challenging.
It takes a lot of self-reflection, analysis, and honesty.
I know where my strengths are. I know what I do well.
I also know the areas where I don’t make the best use of my time.
The hardest part of scaling a business is knowing what to do more of and what to delegate...and having the confidence to let someone else take the reins.
Though I could do a necessary task exactly how I want it doing, my time could be better spend doing the most valuable tasks.
I have to think in terms of opportunity cost.
I already do this for accounts, editing, narrators, and cover artists.
But what about advertising? Branding? Social media? Mailing lists? Audience building? Audio editing? Publishing?
These are tasks I do that could be managed by someone else.
My highest value task is creating stories.
Everything else can be done by someone else.
That’s going to be a huge mindset shift for me...
...but I know it’s what I need to do.
