Is it ok to do EVERYTHING yourself as an entrepreneur? – #AskEvan


is it okay to do everything yourself as
an entrepreneur I’m going to answer that
question in today’s episode of the
basket so I got a question for one of my
youtube viewers love you guys pushing
pixels who wrote in to say it’s always
interesting taking these kinds of videos
and mentally converting them to how they
would apply to someone like myself
trying to make a business out of my
youtube channel so many entrepreneur do
is always talk about removing yourself
from the mechanisms of the business as
much as possible but for me the passion
comes from that low level work not just
the effect and impact that work will
have on people and the vision behind it
all would you suggest anything
differently if someone is working on a
one-person business like a YouTube
channel where your face is just as much
as a product as your words I mean you
run a channel so you must have some
thoughts pushing pixels I do have some
thoughts I’m going to share with you my
three tips to help you sell this problem
so number one is identify what you love
you’ve got to do what you love if you
want to have success in whatever you’re
doing in your life and in your business
and within your business right now you
want to figure out what is it that
you’re looking where is your passion if
that is being in front of the camera
that’s great if that is being behind the
scenes and editing that’s great that’s
where you’re going to pour your love
into it right oh I was watching an
example of Casey nice that who has a
huge channel on YouTube in every video
that he puts out it has hundreds of
thousands or millions of views and he
still edits everything himself he’s the
face but he does all the editing himself
on his videos and they’ll stay out till
two three four in the morning editing
his blog because he loves it because
that’s where his passion is because he
doesn’t want to give over the editing to
somebody else and so that has led him to
build a massively successful business
but also a great YouTube channel she got
identified
what is that you love and how can you
spend more time doing that and if that’s
doing the back end stop the things you
consider low level tasks then do that
because you’re going to perform those
tasks in a much more creative way in a
much more amazing way in a much more
high-value way than anybody else because
you love it number two is determine how
much do you want to grow some businesses
so much quarters they don’t want to grow
they want a one-person show they don’t
want to have a team they don’t want to
do anything big they’re happy with what
they’re doing they’re making their
whatever it is per month and that’s a
good life for them they want the
work-life balance and that’s it they
don’t want to grow anymore and so if
that’s you then stick with it you can do
it within yourself you never have to
grow and you can be a happy camper if
you want more if you want to make more
money if you want to have a bigger
impact if you want to eventually have a
team then you’ll have to go back to
figure out again what it is that you
love doing and helping you then they’ll
take those other pieces and give them
away but it comes from your ambition is
your ambition bit do you want to do
something big if you do then you can’t
do it alone right you look at people
who’ve gone on to do huge things it’s
never alone there’s always a team it may
start off as one person but it always
builds to be a team and so how big do
you want to take your company and number
three is eliminate automate delegate now
do you know what you love doing and what
you don’t love doing and if you want to
build a team up then you eliminate the
stuff you can eliminate you automate the
stuff can be automated and then you
delegate the rest and ideally you are
focusing your time the things that you
love doing that a high value on and not
doing this stuff that you don’t love
doing anymore and that’s that happens
for everybody right there are things in
your business that you don’t love doing
and for you to be highly successful it’s
not going to come from doing the things
that you don’t love doing give that to
somebody that loves doing and and so
that’s that’s the secret that’s the key
is getting that team around you in my
business I started doing my youtube
channel all myself I film myself I
edited myself I posted to YouTube myself
and as I got into what is a funshine
how to edit videos but then it got
boring for me and it wasn’t the best use
of my time or skill that most
importantly I wasn’t passionate about it
is you can learn something if you’re
passionate about it I didn’t want to
learn it my passion was being in front
of the camera and talking to you guys
and so I went from doing one video a
week where I was editing everything
myself and post on YouTube myself to now
making 13 14 videos a week we’re all I
have to do is say in front of the camera
and press record and my video editor
Christina does everything else for me
and so I’m able to have a much bigger
impact I’m Way happier I’m getting much
more traction and making a lot more
money because I’m doing what I love and
so if you find what you love and focus
on that and eliminate automate delegate
the rest of way you’ll have a lot more
success believe what you’re watching i
love to know your thoughts on is it okay
that stays a one-person shop and your
strategies on how to do it tell me what
your goals are leave it in the comments
below i’m going to join the discussion
and i look forward to hearing from you
