“I don’t know what to delegate so I end up doing everything.”
How to Identify Quick Wins and Build a Confident Outsourcing Strategy
Have you ever said (or thought), “I’d love to work with a VA. I just don’t know what to outsource”?
If so, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common things I hear from founders, legal professionals, charity leaders, and solo business owners. You’ve built something meaningful, but now you’re stuck in the day-to-day and it’s stopping you from growing your business, finding breathing space, or taking a step back when you need to.
The good news? You don’t have to do it all. And it starts with a few simple, smart steps.
The Real Cost of Doing Everything Yourself
If you’re handling everything from diary coordination to meeting logistics, it might feel productive but is it holding you back?
You’re spending your days firefighting instead of focusing on what only you can do: leading, growing, creating, and building your impact.
The cost? Burnout. Bottlenecks. A business that perhaps can feel more reactive than intentional.
Quick Wins to Outsource Today
Here are a few high-impact, low-resistance tasks to delegate first:
• Complex diary management and meeting scheduling
• Email triage and inbox organisation
• Proofreading, and template creation
• Meeting minutes and action tracking
• Research and background briefings
• Event support: from planning to delivery
These tasks are often the biggest time drains for my clients but they’re also easy to hand over to an experienced Business Support Specialist with clear systems and communication.
Outsourcing as a Long-Term Strategy
Outsourcing isn’t just about ticking things off a list. It’s about having a trusted partner - a calm, capable right-hand person - who helps you hold it all together while moving forward.
Think:
• Project support that keeps momentum
• A second brain for your business operations
• Event planning handled without the overwhelm - let me sweat the small stuff
• Consistent, proactive executive support
And perhaps most importantly, you’ll have:
A natural business extension who blends seamlessly with your business. So, you can step away from the business when you need to.
