5 REASONS TO HIRE HELP

WHY:  WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER

1.  There's no reason to do all the laborious tasks yourself.  Delegating some lower skilled jobs can free up a lot of time.  Use your new freedom to focus on the higher skilled tasks, on promoting your business or on developing more profitable services. It will also decrease the wear and tear on your body - a finite resource. 
2. It gives structure to your work day/week.  Having even one person work with you will help you accomplish more and have a consistent schedule.  
3. It makes your business look more professional. Clients will observe your team work and systems. The projects progress quicker and deliver faster results.  

   4.  It's easier to charge more.  Some clients will monitor your progress when you work alone.  They
        may feel $25/hour is a reasonable wage for a painter.  Add in a second painter and a service truck
        and now its easier to shift the customer's focus to the results, not the math.
  5.   It's a good entrepreneurial exercise. Working solo makes you self employed, a free-lancer. Which
        is fine. Many experienced trades people will tell you it's just as profitable to stay small and it's a lot
        less stressful. I agree with that. However, you may like a good challenge and want to develop more
        skills. Hiring even one more person will push you to develop these skills: training, communication,
        organization, planning, budgeting, motivating. These skills are valuable in growing your business or
        in other aspects of your life, or even your next career move. Think of entrepreneurship as self
        directed education that pays you.
  6.   As an entrepreneur it helps you to remember what your primary role is.  Being an excellent
       craftsperson that delivers value is essential.  But beyond that your core value to the business is as
       director, making decisions that will empower your business to help you reach your goals.
