In this episode, I’m diving into a topic so many entrepreneurs can relate to! Knowing when it’s time to let go and start outsourcing! As someone who’s learned from experience, I know the struggle of trying to handle everything myself, fueled by passion, a bit of perfectionism, and, of course, that love for wearing all the hats! But at some point, holding on too tightly can mean dropping the ball.We’ll get real about the signs that it's time to bring in support: whether it’s the feeling that some tasks just aren’t getting the attention they deserve, or noticing that certain areas are dragging down your energy. From overwhelming inboxes to social media, we’ll chat about finding help in unexpected places. Maybe that friend who’s a stay-at-home mom or someone in your circle who has the right skills.Making things manageable doesn’t have to feel like a chore! Systems bring you freedom and let you offload tasks that drain your energy or don’t make the impact you’re aiming for. When you set up clear expectations with outsourced help, you’re giving both of you the best chance to thrive and freeing up your own time to focus on what truly lights you up! And for the tasks still on your plate, ask yourself: is there a way to make them more fun, streamlined, or Just plain easier? Sometimes, letting go can help you grow!Goldie Links Society Fiverr

In this personal episode, I share my experiences as a first-time vendor and speaker at the Permanent Jewelry Expo (PJX). It was an incredible journey filled with both challenges and triumphs.
