Let's talk numbers, shall we?
If we use an example of a business owner spending 10 hours every week on admin and marketing - that sounds reasonable right?
This includes time to:
• Create the content
• Schedule it
• Managing your diary
• Organising your inbox
and so much more!!
So these 10 hours per week at £30 per hour as a valuation of your time... that's at a cost of £300 of YOUR time every single week.
All of this amounts to £1,200 per month.
But the true cost? It goes far beyond hours spent on admin and social media.
Here is what doing it all REALLY costs your business:
1️⃣ Those 10 weekly hours could be spent on product development, wholesale outreach or customer retention. These are activities that directly generate money.
2️⃣ You notice your followers start to remain the same, no matter what you do.
3️⃣ The mental load of constantly doing mundane tasks sucks all your energy.
4️⃣ Let's be honest - how many family dinners, weekend outings, or proper nights of sleep have been sacrificed because you just needed to work on your business?
The most expensive investment isn't outsourcing - it's continuing to do your own admin and marketing that keeps you from spending time elsewhere on your business.
If these admin and marketing tasks generate additional sales AND free up 40 hours of your time each month - wouldn't that be worth investing in?
For most of my clients, the answer is a resounding yes.
