There can be many limitations to running a business in regional Australia. Outside of the usual entrepreneurial woes of time, money and resources, it can be hard to find trusted local professionals who really understand you and can meet your expectations. So you dabble in creating your own social media content, a logo or website.

But have you ever stopped to consider how much time you spend doing tasks in your business you don’t enjoy or aren’t great at? Deep in your heart you know it’s a false economy. You have a great product and business but you know you have to step it up. You see where you want to be, but how to get there doesn’t seem so simple.

Or is it?

There are some key simple ingredients that go into great marketing and our solutions have been created by people just like you – passionate regional business owners and producers, who get who you are, what you do and how much you care.

BUT WHY NOT DO IT YOURSELF? IT’S CHEAPER, RIGHT?

This is a common misconception many people fall prey to – and not just the budding entrepreneurs and boot-strapping startup founders.

Many business people who haven’t realised the benefits of outsourcing – or consequences of not outsourcing – still try to ‘do it all.’

You know that saying, 80 percent of your income comes from 20 percent of the work you do? Well, it’s true for the majority of businesses who haven’t assessed their workflow consciously.

Many businesses are built from a great idea, and when it’s a good idea, it really gains traction. Business owners get started and at first, enjoy the rush of being in control of all the aspects, the marketing, the social media, building their lists and making a difference in the world. Oftentimes, the business takes on a life of its own (the Government doesn’t call it an ‘entity for nothing!).

It’s often at this point that people begin to feel overwhelmed not knowing which way to turn.
