Signs You Need a Project Manager (Even If You’re a Team of One)

You’re juggling a million things: client work, launches, Instagram content, email lists, invoices, and maybe even a team. At some point, you're not just building a business—you’re fighting to keep it from falling apart.

If you’re feeling behind, burnt out, or constantly in catch-up mode, it might be time to bring in a project manager.

And yes, even if it’s just you right now.

Here’s how to know it’s time.

1. You’re Always Putting Out Fires

If your workday feels like a constant game of whack-a-mole—responding to emails, fixing deadlines you forgot, rescheduling things that fell through the cracks—it’s not just stress. It’s a lack of systems.

A project manager brings structure, so you're not reacting all the time. You’re planning.

2. You Have Big Ideas but No Clear Plan

You’ve got a course you want to launch, a rebrand you keep postponing, or a content strategy that lives in your head and nowhere else.

A project manager helps break those big visions into bite-sized, actionable steps—with timelines that make sense.

3. You’re Delegating... But Nothing Feels Aligned

Maybe you’ve hired a VA, a designer, or a copywriter. But somehow, things still feel scattered. You're reviewing too much, fixing deliverables, or losing time coordinating everyone.

What you're missing is someone who connects the dots.

A project manager doesn’t just manage tasks—they manage processes. They help your team work better together, even if "your team" is two people and a contractor.

4. You’re Doing Everything Yourself (and It Shows)

Let’s be real: you didn’t start your business to live inside Google Docs and Asana all day.

If admin work, scheduling, or content production is pulling you away from your zone of genius, it's time to offload.

A project manager takes the mental load off your plate so you can stay focused on what only you can do.

5. You’re Launching Something New

New offers, rebrands, online courses, podcast launches—all of these are projects. They need timelines, workflows, checklists, communication plans, and people management.

If that makes your brain ache, don’t worry. That’s literally what I do.
