As entrepreneurs and small business owners, we tend to think we can, or we need, to do it all. The truth is that while we may be good at the main thing - whatever your business sells - we are not good at all the things. There is a time when we need to invest in our business by hiring professionals. In this episode, Kayla and Marci talk about overcoming the mental gap between doing everything yourself (logos, branding, social media strategy. accounting, etc.) and hiring a specialist. Hear how that investment can free you up to do what you do best and propel your business forward.

If you spend $5 on a Fivrr logo, expect $5 worth of business coming back to you." - Kayla  Find Kayla and Marci here... Kayla Phillips Design Instagram Facebook Leverage Social Instagram Facebook
