There are many things you can do grow your business and there are things you can do that’ll harm your business. It’s always best to do those things that’ll make you grow, but what happens when you get to a point where you run out of time in your day and you can’t seem to grow any further? The best answer is to hire a team of people to help you to grow again, but that cost money.
If you’re working your business to pay off debt or to give you the ability to stay home with your kids, spending the money to hire help may not an option. Yes, you want to grow and the added income would be helpful, but if you need all the money you can get, hiring help may not work for your business. If you find yourself in this situation and you just can’t afford to hire someone, you need to find another option. One you must consider is hiring an intern.
An intern works for free in exchange for teaching. You teach them how to do things, they get work experience, and you get work done without paying for any of it. It’s a win-win for both you and the person you hire to be your intern. Most times an intern will work with you for three to six months and then they’re done.
This makes it a bit difficult for you because you’ll only have that person for a short amount of time before they leave and you have to find someone else and retrain, but if you show them the right tasks it may not be as bad as you think. Another way to make things easier for you is to write down detailed instructions showing how to do the tasks you want them to do. This will make things easier for you and the person you hire as an intern.
Growing your business is a goal most business owners set each year, but making it happen is another story. It may be difficult to grow when you have to spend money on a Virtual Assistant or Ghostwriter. It’s even more difficult when you don’t have the money. If you’re in this type of situation, don’t think growing your is only a dream. Instead of spending money to make this growth happen, consider hiring an intern. You’ll find the growth will happen and you won’t have to spend a dime to make it happen.
