Hey, Guys \u2014<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s Manuel here again, with something VERY SPECIAL that I want to share with you all\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n There is SO MUCH that you can do to scale your business. But the reality is that as an entrepreneur, <\/span>YOU WON\u2019T GROW FAST ENOUGH IF YOU DON\u2019T GET THE HELP that you need.<\/span><\/i> I know this to be a fact, because I experienced this myself. And when I realized how true it was that <\/span>I NEEDED HELP, <\/b>I eventually (FINALLY) <\/span>DID<\/span><\/i> something about it. (Those of you who have been following me and reading my previous blog articles will remember that I talked about this in the article titled \u201cBuilding A Team\u201d, some months ago. If you haven\u2019t had a chance to read it yet, you can access it <\/span>here.<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve been doing to scale my organization from 3 to over 50 staff in a short time:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the last 4 years, I\u2019ve been OBSESSIVELY getting help from Freelancers, and people out there who are <\/span>ALREADY<\/b> trained, qualified and educated to be able to help people like US \u2014 entrepreneurs who are ready to expand and take their businesses to the next level. <\/span><\/p>\n When it comes to actually MAKING that growth happen, THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO: From Facebook ads to email marketing, to building our Messenger chat bots, to building our custom audiences, to retargeting \u00a0funnels, to creating your Amazon and Shopify accounts if e-commerce is your type of business, and so on and so on \u2014 the truth is that REGARDLESS of the type of business that you have, THERE IS<\/span> SO MUCH<\/b> TO DO, and no matter HOW good you may get at running your business, <\/span>even if<\/span><\/i> you become skilled in all of the above things that I just mentioned, YOU ARE <\/span>STILL<\/b> LIMITED IF YOU ARE DOING EVERYTHING BY YOURSELF. That\u2019s the cold, harsh, factual reality.<\/span><\/p>\n There is a lot of good quality help available to you out there today. And my good friend Nathan Hirsch has created and established an INCREDIBLE company that is designed to do exactly THAT \u2014 to help you connect with the help available for you to utilize to grow, scale and explode your brand with talented and skilled Freelancers! The company is called FreeeUp (with 3 E\u2019s). The Freelancers who are active with FreeeUp are already Pre-Qualified and Pre-Vetted as a good fit for your team, BEFORE they are even actually put onto your communication lines.<\/span><\/p>\n Now, those of you who know me (or have been following me for a while) already KNOW how passionate and obsessed I am about getting HELP and building a team. I\u2019m going to tell you something: \u00a0Since I\u2019ve built my team of ROCKSTAR Freelancers, it has tremendously helped to \u201cFREE UP\u201d my time, which goes to SHOW you just how incredible this company, FreeeUp really is, and how appropriate their name is, because they REALLY DO help to Free you Up. Let me explain what I mean that:<\/span><\/p>\n There is a BIG difference between you, yourself, being an Executive Director of your company, and you actually being the CREATIVE MIND behind it, and being the engine that actually keeps it going. If you are stuck being the one who has to execute those activities such as building your custom Facebook audiences and Facebook ads, building your retargeting funnel, etc., and having to do that ALL yourself, you\u2019ll <\/span>never<\/i><\/b> be able to successfully scale your business. That\u2019s the reality. You won\u2019t be able to because your focus is so fixated on directing and performing those daily operating tasks, that there will not EVER be time or room for you to concentrate on the creative side of things \u2014 meaning creating the actual expansion of the brand.<\/span><\/p>\n The solution is simple and I\u2019m sharing it with you right now \u2014 The way to Free Yourself Up is with FreeeUp. I am the <\/span>PROOF<\/b> of this. Right now in my agency I have over 40 Freelancers who are all great at what they do, \u00a0and I would never be able to accomplish the incredible feats of growth that my agency has accomplished without my team. We are living in a unique era where YOU, too, can have a team of highly qualified Freelancers helping you to scale your business to exponential proportions.<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/freeeup.com\/manuelsuarez\/<\/p>\n Ok. So enough from me \u2014 I\u2019m now going to share the following with you, which are the words from my friend, the Genius\ud83d\udca1Creator of FreeeUp, Mr. Nathan Hirsch, about the 4 most common fears of hiring and how to overcome them:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt has been said that delegation is an art that leaders and entrepreneurs ought to master because it contributes to both business and personal growth. As easy as that may sound, the reality is, delegating tasks is one of the most difficult things many leaders are faced with.<\/span><\/p>\n While it\u2019s true that two hands are better than one (and the more COMPETENT hands on deck, the better), entrusting tasks to a complete stranger is a valid reason to be highly concerned. \u00a0If you\u2019re looking to grow your business and take it to the next level, however, this is a risk you WILL need to take.<\/span><\/p>\n The benefits simply outweigh the disadvantages if you think <\/span>\ud83e\udd14<\/b>about it, and though it\u2019s natural to feel fear in such circumstances, overcoming them should be your priority.<\/span><\/p>\n What are the most common fears of hiring and how do you overcome them? Well, HERE YOU GO: The Fears AND their proposed SOLUTIONS!<\/span><\/p>\n Building a business from the ground up is never easy. \u00a0You\u2019ll literally be putting a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into it just to keep it afloat. \u00a0It\u2019s your pet project, your \u201cbaby\u201d, as others would like to call it. As much as you appreciate other people\u2019s help, more often than not, you\u2019d rather go solo, BECAUSE it is so precious to you.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s only natural for business owners to feel this way. \u00a0If something should go wrong, you\u2019d rather it be through your own doing instead of others because the only person you can trust is yourself, right?<\/span><\/p>\n The problem with this line of thinking is that as the business grows, the tasks that need to be completed to keep it running also grow. \u00a0\u00a0If you can\u2019t find it in your heart to trust others with these tasks, you\u2019ll end up either <\/span>overwhelmed<\/b><\/a>, unproductive or both.<\/span><\/p>\n The worst part is that all of this can lead to your business not meeting its goals.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re having difficulty trusting someone to take over, the best course of action is to hire someone who\u2019s better than you. \u00a0Look for an <\/span>expert<\/span><\/a> who has years of experience and a proven track record.<\/span><\/p>\n Another option would be for you to identify which of your current tasks you don\u2019t feel confident doing, like graphic design or blogging, for example. It would be easier to trust others to do things you don\u2019t believe you\u2019re good at than to let them handle those that you feel you are a master of.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s natural to want to get the best of the best. With today\u2019s freelance marketplace, getting the right fit is not just possible, but is ACTUALLY highly likely. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From the most talented graphic designers and software developers to the most prolific writers and bloggers, the amount of talent to choose from is almost limitless.<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking of tasks you are a master of, this is probably one of the biggest fears business owners have trouble overcoming. \u00a0<\/span>What if the person you hire is not as good as you?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Of course, part of it is your <\/span>EGO<\/b> talking \ud83d\udde3 , but it\u2019s completely understandable to feel this way. You wouldn\u2019t want to mess things up by outsourcing a task you\u2019re a pro at to the wrong person who doesn\u2019t know the head from the tail end.<\/span><\/p>\n Even if you really feel that you\u2019re irreplaceable when it comes to certain tasks, you don\u2019t really have a choice, do you? \u00a0\ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/span><\/p>\n As the CEO, you have other high-value tasks that need to be prioritized. \u00a0If you can\u2019t trust others to do your non-CEO tasks for you, you won\u2019t <\/span>EVER<\/b> be able to help your business grow.<\/span><\/p>\n Freelancers you hire may not be as good as you in some aspects, but there\u2019s always room for improvement. They\u2019ve got the best coach <\/span>\u2014 YOU, <\/span>\u00a0to guide them and help them keep up.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Money will always be a big issue when it comes to running a business. \u00a0You want to get the best results for as little as possible. If we\u2019re being realistic, however, we all know that quality will cost us more.<\/span><\/p>\n Hiring people and getting additional help is <\/span>definitely<\/b> going to cost you money. \u00a0The question is, will every cent be worth the person you hire? \u00a0Will you be getting a good return on your investment through this person\u2019s services?<\/span><\/p>\n The truth is, it\u2019s hard to tell. \u00a0Hiring will always pose risks, but you can minimize these risks by improving your hiring process. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Try not to focus on the price tag as much as possible so you won\u2019t feel discouraged. \u00a0Focus on the skills you need instead, as well as the candidate\u2019s qualifications.<\/span><\/p>\n Do they have an excellent track record of clients they helped in the past? Are they seasoned enough to steer your business in the right direction through the tasks you\u2019ll entrust them with?<\/span><\/p>\n If you find that person who perfectly \u201cfits the bill\u201d but at a higher price, try to think things over first instead of immediately shutting down the idea of hiring them.<\/span><\/p>\n Experts will always cost you more, but if they can get things done and exceed expectations, paying for their services is well worth the risk.<\/span><\/p>\n Higher rates shouldn\u2019t be a problem as long as they bring in more sales and revenue, don\u2019t you agree? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the fears that grip business owners is that of finding the right person. \u00a0Most people would think that finding the person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but that\u2019s not true at all, especially today.<\/span><\/p>\n The key is finding the right person based upon your requirements. You do this through a diligent and well-planned hiring process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Start by identifying the tasks you need help with and the person that\u2019s right for it. \u00a0Which tasks do you need help with? What is your idea of the right person for the task? <\/span><\/p>\n Try to create an avatar of your perfect freelancer to help you narrow down the candidates and when you do, subject them to a rigorous interview process. \u00a0While this may take some time, it will increase your chances of landing the talent you are really aiming for.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fear will always be part of running a business. \u00a0As a CEO, you only want the best for your brand. With the difficulties and obstacles you have to face every day, it\u2019s natural to get worried and feel anxious from time to time.<\/span><\/p>\n Hiring is one of the aspects of your business where fear will always be present. \u00a0After all, putting the fate of your business in other people\u2019s hands is never comfortable. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Overcoming these fears is easy when you have a solid hiring system in place. It becomes easier to trust someone in whom you have confidence, even if it means shelling out more money.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are at the crossroads of hiring someone and the above 4 fears are keeping you from taking the next step, the tips we provided above should help you overcome them — because sometimes, our biggest enemy is ourselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Well, there you have it. Great advice from the man Himself. I\u2019m glad that I followed it. But don\u2019t take my word for it \u2014 Free Yourself Up with FreeeUp and create your OWN amazing EMPIRES and results.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey, Guys \u2014 It\u2019s Manuel here again, with something VERY SPECIAL that I want to share with you all\u2026 There is SO MUCH that you can do to scale your business.
