3 Steps to Free Up Your Time and Focus on Business Growth

‍

Stop Doing $15/hour Work and Start Leading Like a $100/hour CEO

‍

You didn’t start your business to become a full-time task manager.

‍

But somewhere along the way, your days filled up with low-value tasks—updating spreadsheets, following up on invoices, replying to every client email, troubleshooting tech issues. You know your time is valuable, and you’re trying to delegate, but every time you try to hand something off, it either takes too long to explain, doesn’t get done right, or ends up back on your plate anyway.

‍

Sound familiar? Many business owners struggle with remote staffing challenges and outsourcing inefficiencies, leading to time wasted on tasks that don’t move the needle.

‍

This isn’t just about being busy—it’s about being stuck.

‍

When you’re buried in low-impact tasks, it doesn’t just slow down your business—it drains your energy, kills creativity, and delays the strategic decisions that actually lead to growth.

And here’s the kicker:

If your time is worth $100/hour, and you’re spending 10–15 hours a week on tasks someone else could do for $15/hour—tasks that could easily be outsourced or delegated to a remote team—that’s $40,000–$60,000 a year in lost value.

‍

Not to mention the opportunities you’re too stretched to pursue. The growth strategies that never get prioritized. The burnout that starts to creep in.

‍

You’ve worked too hard to build something meaningful to spend your days bogged down in administrative work or low-value tasks that can be handled by remote professionals.

‍

But here’s the thing: You don’t need to overhaul everything.

‍

At Romy, we specialize in helping businesses like yours regain control through smart, strategic hiring. We’ve worked with dozens of agency owners, business founders, and IT leaders who’ve been in your exact position. And here’s what we found: their workload wasn’t the problem—their structure and team support were.

‍

Because once you have the right kind of remote staffing solutions or dedicated support, everything changes:

• Tasks get done right the first time with minimal oversight.

• Your remote team operates efficiently without you needing to check in constantly.

• You finally have time to focus on strategic decisions, business growth, and leadership.

‍

What if I told you you already know how to lead? You just need the space and the right support to do it.

‍

Here’s how you can start moving from operator to CEO—without burning everything down and starting from scratch:

‍

1. Identify What’s Actually Slowing You Down
   
   Start by tracking what you’re doing each day for a full week. At the end of each day, highlight tasks that:
   
   • Drained your energy
   
   • Could’ve been delegated to your remote team
   
   • Took too much time for the value they delivered
   
   At the end of the week, review your list and mark anything that could’ve been outsourced, automated, or eliminated using remote staffing solutions or IT staff augmentation.
   ‍
   
   
2. Define the Role You Should Be In
   
   Using the same list, highlight in green the work you enjoy and that drives real results—like strategy, creative thinking, relationship-building, or big-picture decisions.
   
   Then ask:
   
   What opportunities did I miss this week because I was stuck in low-impact tasks?
   
   What would my calendar look like if I focused only on work that moves the business forward?
   
   This is where outsourcing tasks to a remote development team or virtual assistants can free up time to lead effectively.
   ‍
   
   
3. Build the Right Support Around You
   
   Now that you know what needs to come off your plate, turn that into a rough job outline. You don’t need to hire a unicorn—just someone who can reliably handle what’s draining you.
   
   Pro tip: Prioritize clarity over complexity. A clear, focused role is easier to hire for and much more likely to succeed. Whether you’re hiring a remote team for software development or outsourcing admin tasks, clarity in job descriptions will lead to better outcomes.
   ‍
   
   

That’s it. Not an overnight shift—but a direction worth moving in.

‍

One step at a time. One smart decision at a time. And eventually, a whole lot more breathing room.

‍

The Result?

‍

Your calendar opens up. You’re no longer pulled into every little thing. Projects move forward without you being the bottleneck.

‍

You’re finally free to lead—to think big, make strategic decisions, and grow the business on your terms.

‍

And instead of feeling overwhelmed, you feel energized. Focused. Back in control.

‍

Because you’re doing the work that actually matters—and everything else? Handled by your remote team or outsourced professionals.

‍

You don’t have to keep spinning your wheels.

‍

And you definitely don’t have to do it all alone.
