How and Why to Outsource in Your Creator Business

I talk to countless creators every week who are completely overwhelmed with work. They know they need to outsource, but there is some hesitation.

Some are afraid to let go of control, others don’t know where to start, and others fear that it will be even more work than just doing everything themselves. But there’s just no way you can do it all without getting burnt out.

Building a team has been one of the best things I’ve done for my business. It allowed me to take some time back for myself and focus on the things that I’m actually good at.

Today I’m joined by Alex Porterfield, a business strategist and mentor for influencers and virtual assistants. She has successfully built a VA business where she has worked with top influencers and now she teaches women how to achieve their goals of supporting creators.
