2. But at initial stage do not outsource anything except Design part, Get hands on experience.
3. Get hands on experience on Content creations.

5. After one year when you get hands on experience, many things can be outsourced.
6. Outsource to external team on project base.
7. Principals – keeping things lean, flexible.

I can outsource many of the work and just focus on the main areas.
Not oursource anything except design in the beginning.
When I can get hands on at content creation in the beginning, I can gain mastery at it over a course of time.
It also helps when you start outsourcing the work later.
We should be focusing on end-to-end before we earn a stable profit (for atleast a year).

• When I get hands on content creation and content editing – I can roll out courses at much faster speeds
• Being hands on helps the learning curve will help to be confident
Thanks Sidz for sharing different phases
In an initial part of journey –
1. Design – pay for it to get it done from an expert : Logo design, signature logo,
Community management, Content management later On
– create a lean system first after getting hands-on and then delegate

2. Delegate if required where in concentrate more on sales .then will delegate the work s of Advertising, Video editing, Design work, etc.
3.Take tiny actions consistently towards the end goal.
1. Not to outsourcing during 1st phase of journey
2. Delegate outsourcing internal things like operations, community, content in 2nd phase of journey.
3. Delegate external things like video editing, Ads to external agencies.
top 3 action
build own landing page
managing email list
learning management system
Top 3 Takeaways :
1. I will take full control of my Website and become hands-on.
2. I will not automate my Funnel.
3. I will outsource my Video Editing and Design.
Our approach will be to delegate funds when our cash flow is stable. Initially, we should prioritize delegating design tasks, as they contribute to the aesthetic value. Over a 12-month period, we can assess progress and gradually appoint delegates step by step. For instance, we can start with a communication manager, content manager, and community manager, before considering other roles. It’s crucial to pay attention to the landing page and content quality. Creating an effective funnel should be a priority from the outset. As we grow and succeed, we can continue to delegate responsibilities to ensure continued prosperity.

T3A
Takeaway 1: Gain Hands-On Experience
The podcast emphasizes the importance of gaining hands-on experience in various domains like design, video editing, website development, ads, funnel creation, and branding. By personally working on these tasks for a year, you develop a solid foundation and understanding of the processes involved. This hands-on experience enables you to make informed decisions, effectively communicate with outsourced professionals, and ensure the quality of work.
Takeaway 2: Prioritize Building a Lean System
During the initial year, it is recommended to work on all domains independently to create a lean system. By focusing on each aspect yourself, you have complete control over the quality and consistency of the work. This approach allows you to streamline processes, identify areas for improvement, and optimize your operations. A lean system minimizes waste and ensures efficient utilization of resources.
Takeaway 3: Outsource Strategically for Growth
Once you have established a strong foundation and achieved a stable cash flow, it is advisable to strategically outsource certain tasks. By outsourcing design, ads, PR, website development, and video editing on a project basis, you can leverage specialized expertise and free up time for sales-focused activities. Additionally, hiring a communication person, content manager, and community manager can further streamline operations and enable you to focus on revenue generation. This planned outsourcing approach allows for scalability, flexibility, and the ability to adapt to changing business needs.
By initially working on various domains yourself, you can gain valuable experience, create a lean system, and eventually strategically outsource to optimize your operations, free up time, and increase cash flow.
1. All system setup except design, you should do it yourself to atleast 1 year period.
2. Start with delegate & outsourcing only when you see enough cashflow & profitability from your work & business.
3. You can delegate and Outsource – communication, content & system management, advertising, video editing, design work & PR – only once you have good hands-on in these areas, working for at least a year or more.
1. First learn yourself and try to understand all the processes yourself. Gain authority.
2. Get hands-on with your content as this will come from your heart straight – landing page, email list, learning management system, editing of videos—all things to be done end to end by yourself.
3. Design can be one of the things you should outsource.
4. Delegation depends upon your level of income.
5. Pay attention to quality as it will not be cheap.
6. Delegate when you are ready with practice, doing it yourself and have gained enough authority and cash flow.
Hands on first
Experience it with your results.
Then delegate
*Non-core activities can be delegated
*Core activities have to be done on your own to get absolute clarity. once you learn the basics then delegate it.
* Two levels of delegation( Internal & External)
Your greatest assets are not your clients, they are your loyal team members and your team members will take care of your clients.

ACTION I AM GONING TO TAKE FROM THIS VERY FIRST MINUTE
– editing my own Videos
– crafting my Landing Page
– creating my Learning Managment System
Initial 1 year manage your design on your own,
Building your own landing page.
Keeping things at high standard.
The following can be done by you then outsourcing
Managing your landing page.
Manage LMS.
Editing your own video
Audio editing for the podcast.
Managing your own website, funnels, etc
Clicks and links, the progress of business on a single dashboard
Till enough to create cash flow do it yourself then can outsource
Paid traffic, designing do it yourself until create income.
How to write ad copy
Image creat using CANVA
That learning curve you go through initially to get better design.
For all the system setup, content creation setup, traffic creation, and ad setup do it yourself, then outsource.
Designing can be outsourced.
Delegate outsourcing: hire one person like a general manager who took charge of external and internal communication.
The second person can be the content creation
The third person is a community manager.
These are the three people who support me.
I have a home office and a virtual address for company registration.
advertising, website management on pay per task basis, video editing, video thumb, PR person for news articles in different places, Managing google funnels, and all the tasks happening
You don’t need large teams. Nobody is on your payroll. Everything is outsourced to an external agency. If one agency is not working we can switch to another agency. Or I can use both agencies simultaneously.
When to outsource is after getting hands-on
Keeping things lean,
Optimization is around profitability
There is no manufacturing cost.
Another team for event productions.
Everything in this world requires people, when you know what you want you can guide them to do what you want.

When you recognize that your time could be better utilized for more impactful work and you find yourself burdened with repetitive tasks, it may be an opportune moment to consider delegation and outsourcing.
Awesome, Chandan.
Build you home (BUISNESS RELATED AREAS) first. As per your choice and place with material of your choice then redecorate it by outsourcing decorator.
so, hand on experience first when comes to major parts related to business and once the cash flow is enough i am going to outsource it.
Keeping things lean will work for me.
Keep the project base team as per your requirements when you feel right.
Good points, Parna.

Valuable session. Now get clarity on when to delegate things. So, my key learnings are-
1. First get a hands-on experience in each area, like website building, landing page creation, editing videos, audio, LMS traffic generation through ads, etc.
2. We should give ourselves at least 12 months before hands-off.
3. Keep things lean, flexible, and profitable from your business point of view…
I’m glad you found this valuable, Asha.
Outsource – Design work, Funnel Building, Advertising, PR, Website Designing
Not to outsource in the first stage of Business
1. Do not outsource except design, get logo design, product box design,
2.Building your own landing page, hands on your email list, tool convertkit
3. Manage own LMS
Give one year time, to do self
After one year hands on.. hire for
Content Manager, GM Operations, Community Manager
Before Automate.. we should do self for atleast one year
Perfect, Ravi 🔥
Three takeaways –
1. When we start a freedom business, we shouldn’t delegate all the tasks except designing till our business becomes profitable and we experience the cash flow.
2. The main tasks such as content creation , editing, ads etc will help us have a moral authority to guide and do the tasks better while we delegate it.
3. Once we find the cash flow profitable, we can start delegating tasks such as editing, designing etc. to people such as operational manager, content manager, PR with an aim keep the content higher quality and flexible.
Awesome takeaways!
my biggest lessons that I would like to implement –
1. Get the Hang-On of your stuffs / work before you give it to delegate some important tasks. Could be after 12 to 18 months once get fully used to the task and done it multiple times.
2. To climb on next level of your success ladder its very important to outsource some tasks as it will give leverage to focus on more productive part of business.
3. Delegating & outsourcing helps in bringing more revenue to business as the person becomes free of day today task & bring new ideas & concepts to business which brings compounding growth to business.
Amazing. Keep learning, Keep growing.
1. GAIN CONFIDENCE BY DOING THINGS THAT YOU CAN AND OUTSOURCE WHN THE TIME IS RIGHT AND HAVING RIGHT AND LESS MEMBERS IS MORE
2. BE ABLE TO DO THINGS BY YOURSELF WHEN NOBODY IS THERE
3. UPGRADING SKILLS IS IMPORTANT
Perfect, Meghana.
Task Delegation & outsourcing
Design, video editing, branding, PR can be outsourced .
But only outsource design in the initial stage -logo designing, box designing & at the most website designing.
skills we need to be hands on are building our own landing pages, email list, LMS, editing of own video content. speed will build up gradually if ywe know how to create content & edit it. later YT editing can be outsourced.
Outsourcing should begin once good cashflow starts or atleast after 1 year of doing maximum things on your own. Designing headlines & hooks should be done by self. Writing the add copy, end to end needs to be done on your own.
.After this one can delegate email communication, then content manager, then community manager .
Delegate your communication, website , video editing design work, outsource PR, google adds tracking can happen at one place. In knowledge based business no big teams are required, no permanent role is required.
Also Outsource development work like the platforms. Keep things lean & flexible
opitimise business around profits.
Awesome, detailed points, Ashima.
My Take Away from this podcasts are
1. Do not Outsource anything initially until you must be just perfect
2. since you know after hands on then you will be able to get minimise in price and maximize the quality.
3. when you have moral authority of all your work then you can easily get hands of to other.
4. give at least one year or until get more cash flow after one year.
5. Delegate an outsource according to pay per project so you can save more money.
thanks,
Sid

Perfect insights, Sanjay!
I made the biggest mistake in my journey in digital coaching by trying to delegate a part of my coaching itself to another person but then realised, soon enough, that for you to delegate your work, your creation, to someone else first there must be congruency apart from proficiency. If they are not congruent with your mission and vision, however proficient they may be in the field, it just won’t work out. Also in this podcast I’m happy that Sid corroborates what I have always believed and done, hands on first, every minute aspect of the work and project on hand, then delegate mundane, routine tasks and retain tasks which require your personality and character as inputs into them. Thank you Sid
Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Aditya.
