About this episode

You’ve built a business you're proud of, but are you spending too much time in the weeds? When small tasks pile up, you might feel like you’re doing everything except what actually grows your business. With every email and customer support issue you handle, you're losing time that should be dedicated to sales and marketing—the lifeblood of your revenue. So, how do you know when it’s time to delegate and finally scale?

 

In this episode of Business Made Simple, hosts James Sweeting and Bobby Richards sit down with Nicole Burke, founder of Gardenary, to chat about how she built a thriving online business by staying laser-focused on sales and marketing. Nicole shares her journey of transitioning from doing it all to building a team that handles fulfillment and admin, so she can prioritize what matters most. You’ll learn how to conduct a task audit, recognize when it’s time to hire, and maintain focus on activities that move the needle for your business. Listen in and get actionable steps to scale your team and your business!
