    3. When to Ask For Help / Outsourcing
    Oct 7 2020
    This podcast episode will be geared more towards the photographer that has been in business for a few years, but I don’t want the beginner photographers to discount this as something valuable to tuck away for later. You will need help with your business. I hope you get to the place where you have so much business coming in that you just can’t keep up. That is a good thing. That means you are growing. That means you are in demand. All of those things are great. What isn’t great though is if you stay at that place and try to do everything on your own. You are setting yourself up for failure. I’m the type of person that doesn’t like to ask for help. I can do it myself. I don’t want someone else to come in and make mistakes. If I ask for help it makes me feel like I’m not capable, and that I’m week. All of those are things the enemy tells us. You need to ask for help. You can’t do everything on your own. The most important thing you need in your life and your business is power from the Lord. With His strength, we can accomplish much more than we can in our own power. Today I want to talk all about getting help before it is too late. Getting help before you get burned out... How can you begin to outsource some things so you are not overwhelmed, overworked, and exhausted. When you begin to get help, it will bring back the joy you have for your business. Is that joy gone? Does photography feel like a job to you? Do you dread editing one more session? Does the thought of sitting down at your desk make you cringe? Can you even find the time to sit and work? Do you feel like you are accomplishing a ton in your business but your home or kids are suffering because of it? If you are saying yes to any of those questions then you need to outsource. I want to talk today about how to begin getting help. What you can outsource, and why you need to do it. Outsourcing has become one of my favorite things to do. And that is hard to say for someone that doesn’t like to ask for help, but It has given me back the creative freedom in my business. And after you experience what true freedom looks like, you will never go back to the old way of doing business. I know that a lot of people are hesitant when it comes to outsourcing. First I want to talk about what your hesitations might be when it comes to outsourcing because I have had the same hesitations as well, I promise. Number one, nobody can do it exactly like me. This is true, but if your business is in a place where only you can do everything in your business it will never grow. You have to be able to have the ability to train other people to do things as close to you as possible. Somebody once told me that if I could train somebody to do the job 80% as good as I can do it that I need to outsource it. This really helped me to not seek perfection went outsourcing. That other 20% leaves room for grace and room to grow. Another reason people say they don’t want to outsource is that they don’t have the money. This was probably my biggest fear when it came to letting go. I was afraid that it would take away from my income. I raised my prices exactly what the amount it would cost me to outsources was, and never looked back. It was such a small amount in the grand scheme of things that my clients didn’t even notice the price increase. And my income wasn’t affected at all. Actually, the opposite happened. My income grew because it gave me more time to focus on the things that help my business to grow. I think the other big reason people don’t outsource is that they don’t know how to begin. There are so many options out there. It’s hard to know what will be the best bet for your business. There are virtual assistants, there are large companies that you can outsource to, and then there are private editors and private assistants. I have done a little bit of each. Right now, I personally am super happy with my private editors. My mom works for me. She does a lot of my client communication, and she also culls for my blog posts. And then I have a full-time assistant that does culling, editing, and album design. She only works for me, so she doesn’t work for a lot of photographers. I trained her, and it has been an amazing fit. I brought Julie on in my busiest season when I was desperate for help. I didn’t think I had the time to train someone new, but looking back I didn’t have the time to not train some. She has been a Godsend. I also just hired a VA to do some work for me. I have used large companies in the past when it comes to editing, and I was pleased with them. I just personally prefer to work with the same person, and I really like that my editor does more than just editing. She is definitely more than just an editor but more of my personal assistant... But I know that can be a huge help. Photographers Edit is my personal favorite big box company for editing though. And it’s a great option if you don’t know someone that you...
