Here's the Automated Transcript:
00:00
i run a business that creates album
00:02
artwork for musicians
00:04
and record labels in my third year
00:06
workload very heavy and i'm starting to
00:08
burn out even though i keep
00:10
taking up the price any advice
00:11
instruction that kind of business
00:14
well first you got to figure out what in
00:15
that process do you love
00:17
[Music]
00:18
what do you love in that business so
00:20
you're taking at the price but you're
00:21
burning out because you don't love it
00:22
anymore
00:24
you love some of it so for example maybe
00:26
you love coming up with a concept maybe
00:28
you love
00:29
talking to the artist and and
00:31
brainstorming what it could be and
00:33
figuring out their colors
00:34
yeah coming up with the concept exactly
00:36
but you don't like actually doing the
00:37
work
00:39
you don't actually design it you want to
00:41
sit there for hours in the computer and
00:42
actually
00:43
make the thing right
00:48
yeah exactly so that's what you need to
00:50
hire somebody so your price
00:52
has to be high enough that you can now
00:54
afford to hire somebody part time
00:56
underneath you to do the actual editing
00:59
and creation
01:02
now that may not be a full-time um
01:04
switch for you
01:05
yet because the strategy all you're
01:08
doing is strategy
01:10
then you need to have a a ton of clients
01:14
right you have a lot more clients than
01:15
you probably do right now
01:18
but you can start working towards it and
01:20
you offload what you think is the
01:22
the least exciting work
01:29
and all you really need is the hope like
01:31
if you see that it's getting better
01:33
you hope that it's getting better
01:36
see that there's progress that the thing
01:38
that you like the least like maybe
01:40
you maybe you do all
01:43
still all the client work in terms of
01:44
the customer facing you're talking to
01:45
the customer you're getting them to
01:47
um you're doing project management doing
01:49
client management on all you're doing is
01:51
having them actually do the photoshop
01:52
work
01:53
right that's one step but as long as
01:55
you're showing that
01:56
you have progress so you're increasing
02:00
your prices so that you can afford to
02:01
hire somebody underneath you
02:02
and that there's progress happening
02:04
that's what you need to start attaching
02:05
to and you got to do it asap because
02:07
you still have one foot in this business
02:09
where a lot of entrepreneurs
02:10
fall down is they end up doing it for so
02:13
long that they hate
02:14
every single part of this thing and
02:16
there's no saving it
02:18
um and they're not painting their life
02:20
so while you still kind of like it
02:22
you don't absolutely hate it that's the
02:25
time to strike that's the time to hire
02:27
the person so you can focus on the parts
02:28
that you like the most this is a this is
02:30
a
02:30
story that plays out very consistently
02:33
doesn't that look like zed come on that
02:34
looks like zed a thousand percent that
02:36
looks like zed
02:37
this story plays out man so you gotta
02:40
you gotta do it you gotta hire that
02:42
person now
02:43
and recognize that you don't complete
02:44
your entire business you just hate
02:46
pieces of it and so you gotta get rid of
02:49
those pieces
02:51
it's just not challenging for you
02:52
anymore at the beginning everything was
02:54
challenging everything was
02:55
a new adventure you're learning even
02:57
photoshop was new you're learning new
02:58
things in there that you didn't know
03:00
before
03:00
now it's just kind of repetitious you're
03:03
just doing the same thing over and over
03:04
again
03:05
so you're bored so that's where you need
03:08
to find somebody to do that work
03:09
part time and if you keep raising your
03:11
prices
03:12
awesome but don't think that raising
03:14
prices is enough
03:15
like that's just the start
