Episode notes

Exploring the necessity for solo entrepreneurs to delegate tasks to prevent burnout and improve business efficiency. Insights shared on recognizing the need to hire help for areas one struggles with, like financials, design, and marketing.

I’m a pretty okay developer, but when it comes to marketing and sales, I really need help. And for the longest time, I’ve held myself back.

My current SaaS business, Podscan, is at a point where some very important decisions need to be made. I’ve got something quite big in the works, and I’ll be talking about this next week in much more detail, but it made me think about the long-term needs a business like mine has, how I can personally fulfill them, and where I have skill gaps that I will have to work on.
