5 Signs It's Time to Hire an Online Business Manager

You’ve started a business and it’s growing. You’re exceeding your goals, helping customers, and doing what you love.

 

The problem is, there is only one of you. And you’re not sure how big or how busy you need to be before hiring an Online Business Manager to help.

 

You don’t need to read tea leaves or be clairvoyant to know it’s time, but you need to take a step back, and get your head up out of the weeds long enough to recognize the signs.

 

Here are 5 signs that it’s time to consider hiring an Online Business Manager:

Sign #1: You are wearing all the hats

If you are still answering phones, taking orders or working “in” the business instead of “on” the business, it’s time to hire an Online Business Manager to help. You only have so many hours in a day to work, and it’s your job to steer the ship forward, not do the paddling. Let an Online Business Manager figure out how to get the day-to-day business operations done so you can be freed up to grow your business in new directions.

Sign #2: You are turning away business

If you are so busy that you can barely handle the projects you currently have, let alone take on more, it’s time to hire an Online Business Manager. Your goal should be to accept any good business opportunity or sale you have the opportunity to take to continue to grow your business.

If you have no free time, it's time to hire an Online Business Manager

Sign #3: You have no free time

You probably thought that starting your own business meant you would have more control over your schedule, more leisure time, and more freedom. While starting a business is a huge undertaking, it shouldn’t take over your life. Instead of working 60-70 hours a week, hire an Online Business Manager to take some of your responsibilities off your plate. Take your weekends off. Spend time with family and friends. Travel. As they say, life is short, and at the end of it, no one ever wished that they would have spent more time at work.

Sign #4: Your team is sucking all your energy

Your virtual assistants or subcontractors are asking you project questions in order to meet deadlines and satisfy customers. While your team is strong, the constant interruption is leaving you distracted and less productive. An Online Business Manager can be the go-between, handling any of those questions or issues that come up and ensuring the project gets done on time.

Sign #5: Your revenue is stagnant

If you’ve hit a revenue wall and no matter what you do, you can’t break through the financial glass ceiling, it’s time to hire an Online Business Manager. You need to remove yourself from the day-to-da equation. It may sound counterintuitive, but you will work less and make more when you have an Online Business Manager on your team!
