Delegate is seriously your best friend here. Honestly, I was terrified to hand things off because my business was my baby. The thought of someone else doing the things I used to do felt risky… like, what if they don’t care as much or can’t match the quality? I tried hiring direct freelancers from platforms, and I’ve also gone the agency route with SupportNinja and Pineapple VA. It worked, but man… the training, the back-and-forth, and managing everything myself was just another full-time job. Eventually, someone recommended TalentPop to me. I had my doubts at first, but I gave it a shot. And honestly, I’m so glad I did. They made delegation way easier, and once I got that admin stuff off my plate, I finally had time and energy to focus on the parts of the business I actually love. Product development.
