There comes a time when you can’t keep doing what you’ve been doing.

What worked before is not working as well now.

One solution that can be tough to come to is when to hire extra help. A lot of my clients have little to no experience working with a consultant before so it’s tough to know is it the right time to hire a consultant. One of my favourite projects to work on with people is actually when they need to hire a new key position in their business.

Questions that I often ask to know whether it’s the right time include:

What do you love doing and what to get back to?
What do you want to lean in to more to lead the business forward?
What is getting in the way? What is key to the business that someone else could do?

Energy is key to momentum. Being a jack of all trades is needed to start a business but not to grow a business. Whether it’s hiring a consultant to re-engineer or set up new roles and tools for the business (like I do) or hiring another project-based role or a new team member, it can free you to get back to what you love and to challenge yourself with new stuff that energizes you for the great opportunities on your doorstep. Trust when you know you know it’s time ;)
