When Hiring Multiplies Your Problem Instead Of Solving It

One of the first things entrepreneurs do when they get overwhelmed is hire.

They think the problem is bandwidth.
So they look for help—contractors, VAs, agencies.
But help, in the absence of systems, doesn’t help.
It hurts.

Here’s what actually happens:

You bring on someone to “take things off your plate”…

But you haven’t defined the plate.
You haven’t structured the steps.
You haven’t documented the process.

So now you spend your time managing people, answering questions, cleaning up mistakes—and paying for it.

You spend more time managing help than you spent doing the task yourself.

You’ve traded overwhelm for frustration.
And made it more expensive.

The dream of delegation quickly turns into a second job.

Here’s the hard truth:

You didn’t solve your problem.
You multiplied it.

You didn’t fix the leak.
You installed more faucets.

Because delegation isn’t about removing tasks from your list.
It’s about removing decisions.

And if you haven’t defined the process, every task you offload becomes a game of telephone, leaving you still as the bottleneck.

You’ve traded bandwidth for babysitting.
And all you’ve done is made your chaos more expensive.

The solution?

Define your process, and build a system around it that’s so clear, that anyone can do it.

The irony is that when the system is good, you don’t even need to hire.
But if you do, it works effortlessly, because all you have to do is train them on the system, and everything else will take care of itself.

Though the problem is that you’re too busy to build these systems yourself…
Which is exactly why you need them, otherwise you wouldn’t be busy all the time.

You would actually be able to work on your business instead of in your business all the time.
