Hiring Help: When to Add Admin Support, And Why It Matters More Than You Think
Here’s a leadership question nobody asks enough:
How much time are you actually spending on admin work?
If you're like most business owners and practice leaders we work with, the answer is probably, “Way too much.”
You didn’t start your business to chase invoices, book appointments, format newsletters, post on social media at midnight, or wrestle with website updates.
But when the day-to-day piles up, that’s exactly where you end up…. stuck in the back end, running on caffeine and good intentions. The truth is, the more time you spend buried in admin, the less time you spend doing the work that actually grows your business.
At a certain point, it's not just a "busy season"… it's a bottleneck.
So how do you know when it’s time to add admin support?
Start by asking yourself:
How many hours a week am I spending on non-revenue-generating tasks?
What important work am I delaying or avoiding because I'm too busy with admin?
If I had 10–15 hours back every week, where would I put that energy instead?
If the thought of someone else handling the scheduling, invoicing, backend updates, social media, or branding tasks feels like a dream, it’s probably not a dream anymore. It’s a necessity.
The longer you try to “save money” by doing it all yourself, the more money, and opportunity, you actually leave on the table.
Adding the Right Kind of Support
You don’t necessarily need a full-time employee.
You need the right support… flexible, reliable, and tailored to what your business actually needs right now.

Your Time Is Too Valuable to Waste
The bottom line? The more you stay stuck in the weeds, the harder it is to lead, grow, or even breathe in your business.
