Share The Load: Outsource

One of the quickest ways to lose your fire for the very thing God called you to do is trying to do it all alone. Does this sound familiar? “I’m the only one who knows how to do it right.” Or “If I want it done well, I have to do it myself.” These are lies that will cause burnout, exhaustion, and pain. Trust me. After two strokes and a myriad of other stress-related heal issues, I had to learn the hard way.

I used to wear “I do everything myself” like a badge of honor, until it almost cost me everything. I suffered so that you don't have to. So, keep reading. Help is here.

Burnout doesn’t always show up as exhaustion. Sometimes it looks like silently resenting your own dream. And that resentment? It creeps in when you're stretched too thin and holding tight to every task like it’s sacred. But here’s the truth: you are not the only one with the magic sauce.

God didn’t give you the vision to burden you with it. He gave it to you to lead; not to be the only one rowing the boat.

A wise man once told me, “If your vision can be completed on your own, you're thinking too small.” That quote changed everything for me.

There are people walking this earth whose sole purpose is to help you bring your vision to life. They’re not competition, they’re confirmation. Confirmation that you were never meant to build alone.

And yet, so many women still carry the weight of “doing it all” like it’s proof of worth. Somewhere along the way, we were taught that letting go equals weakness or laziness; that asking for help means we aren’t capable. But what if the exact opposite is true?

What if maturity in business and leadership looks like releasing control so you can rise higher? The truth is, every visionary eventually hits a wall, not because they lack passion, but because they lack capacity. And capacity isn’t expanded by grinding harder. It’s expanded by making room. That’s where outsourcing becomes not just a smart move, but a sacred one. Because when you invite others in, you’re not stepping back, you’re stepping into your role as the visionary.

So here are 3 life-changing ways to outsource that can shift everything:

1. Delegate the Details: Hire a virtual assistant or project manager to handle scheduling, client follow-ups, and backend systems so you can stay focused on your zone of genius.

   
   

2. Buy Back Your Time: Invest in a meal prep service, a cleaning crew, or a laundry drop-off, even if it's just once a month, to make space for strategic thinking.

   
   

3. Outsource the Intimidating Tasks: Don’t know branding, bookkeeping, or how to build a website? Don’t learn it, hire it. What takes you 10 hours might take someone else 45 minutes.

You weren’t called to be a one-woman machine. You were called to lead. And leadership starts with letting go. It's time to share the load.

You're not alone,
