How to Know If You’re Ready to Hire Help


Thinking about hiring help but not sure if you’re ready? Use this checklist to find out.

Thinking about hiring support but not sure if it’s “time”?


Here’s the truth: You don’t have to be fully booked or drowning in clients to justify help.


But if any of the following hit home, it’s probably past due:


– You’re turning down work because your schedule is maxed

– You’re constantly behind on follow-ups or deliverables

– You’re repeating the same tasks every week

– You’re spending hours doing things outside your zone of genius

– You daydream about just one day without email, Slack, or client pings


If that sounds like you, it’s time to bring in support.


That might look like hiring a VA for admin work, a contractor for fulfillment, or an operations consultant (hi 👋) to clean up the mess behind the scenes.

Because here’s the key: hiring isn’t just about handing off tasks.

It’s about creating space — for you to lead, grow, and breathe.

But — and this is a big one — don’t hire someone into chaos.


If your backend systems are a mess, your new hire will spend more time asking questions and fixing problems than actually helping.


They’ll be just as overwhelmed as you are — and your business won’t actually move forward.

So before you bring someone in, clean up your workflows. Document your processes. Create a few templates. Automate where you can.


Then, when you do hire, they’ll be walking into a clear, functional business — and you’ll finally feel the relief you were hoping for.
