It’s true.

Many entrepreneurs try to do too much.

You’ve heard the saying…“to get it done right, you’re better off doing it yourself.”

 

Pfui.  B.S. Not true, and that is a mistake.  Period.

Can you see how passionate I am about this subject?  :)

 

All you entrepreneurs in business land need to start listing all of the tasks you do in a day.  Every one of them.  After creating that list, you need to sort that list into A, B, and C:

A - the most important, $100 an hour, income producing tasks.  (should be limited to the top 3 - 5 tasks at most)

B - the “important to daily operation of your business” tasks.  These need to be scrutinized very carefully, because I will challenge that 30% of what you list here isn’t required to operate your business.  This 30%, and the rest, are:

C -  everything, and I do mean everything, else. 

Ok…now that you have done that (you are taking action on this post, right?).   Immediately find a way to hand off the “C” tasks to someone else, or don’t do them.  Don’t worry, your business will survive.  :)

Then…start to research outsourcing a minimum of 50% of the remaining “B” list to someone.  A few good resources here are:

Obviously, you can research google.com and use the word “outsourcing” to find out more.

Back to our point…what you will find is the time you free up makes your life easier, but more importantly, allows you to focus on income-producing activities to the fullest.  You make way more money, and that more than recovers the investment in outsourcing.
