It’s a wedding boom, you are feeling overwhelmed, and exhausted. And you know you should outsource to a virtual assistant or digital marketer, but you don’t know where to start?

You can find someone to help with any problem in your business but you need to have a good starting point. It can be just as overwhelming to outsource 5 tasks at once, then it can be trying to do it yourself! So start to really think about the top 2-3 tasks you need to be done right NOW.

What is not getting done in your business that needs to be done?

What is something you are not good at (not within your zone of genius) that needs to be done within your business?
