If you’re a practice owner or a practice manager, you’re probably working too much. You need to find ways to be more purposeful and less busy, increasing your time, sanity and cash flow. Outsourcing can be a valuable tool to help you scale your business and focus on your core competencies. There are things that only you can do as a practice owner or a manager, but there are so many other things that you are doing that can be outsourced. You can outsource things externally, internally or to your family and friends. Outsourcing a task takes planning and time so do it before you need to, or it will be difficult to onboard the new person well.
