Outsoruce as much as you can. No ones below this idea...Small or Large business

When you sit and think about the idea of outsourcing, what's the first thing that comes to mind? A call center. Then you blood pressure goes through the roof, and your head starts to hurt. Just thinking about the communications that your going to be subjected to. All for being someones customer. I know I know.. I HATE THAT TOO... So here's the thing. We can talk outsourcing in many many ways for the small or large business. To be honest, I think it's MUCH better for the one man show. For the large corporation, there's just too much structure and too many things to deal with, that there's really no choice but to have those God-for-saken scripts that drive us insane. For the one man show, this is a simple and fantastic solution.

Thinking about your day in blocks of value and worth. Now with that said, if you're generating no income with your business activities, this is not really for you.. For example, if you're making 25 dollars and hour on what ever business practices you're engaged in, your probably working your tail off for that. Which means, not thinking about new business during your prime time. Your servicing your customers. Your not doing the research and early development that got you to making money in the first place.

So stop and take 30 minutes to make a list of all the task that do not require your personal touch. Things that you feel like if you had an assistant, you could let them handle. Do you really need to be the one, that surfs the net looking for places to post an ad, for free, to your company? That's kinda a no brainer. But, if your like 90% of the world, you do just that. What about looking for somewhere that makes your products you use that can make your goods cheaper, a cheaper shipping option, lower cost CELL service? All the little research things you spend HOURS AND HOURS ON.. There's NO reason for this. You should be on the PHONE.. YES.. I SAID IT.. THE REAL BUSINESS TOOL.... THE TEL-E-PHONE.. Weird huh? Think about this.. What if there was a way to get a print out EVERY Monday morning, with 50 places that use the services you offer, with the contact and brief descriptions of what they do? Think you could make good use of that? THIS IS THE WAY TO GO.. I know we all hate the idea of outsourcing our work to places like India at the moment, with our economy in the tank, but the plain simple fact is, there just aren't people in this country that will give you the quality of the work someone in India will for a FRACTION of the dollar. If there where, I would keep every dime here. Think about it this way, no one complains about where there Jeans come from, 99% of them, ain't made in the USA sunshine,,, NOT EVEN LEVI's.. read the Label.. I was shocked. I know this concept seems so impossible and so foreign to most of us.. Think on it.

Push for giving things a TRY.. Make goals of things like, "I will try this for 1 week". Most of the outsource companies charge about 4 dollars an hour for research and CS needs.. Give it an $80.00 try. Just for the sake of understanding something NEW if for nothing else.

The last thought.. You're at your most productive when you're happy and free from worry. You will be at your most efficient when you are stressed but LEAST effective. We strive for EFFECTIVE !!!

Time to walk the dog, drink a cup of coffee, and see what goes on around you. Watch a football game, listen to music. Spend time with your loved ones. THESE are the reason you strive for business success. So make sure to take those moments along the way. The math is above.. They charge 4 and hour and you make 25. What could you do with the extra time? Can you find a way to make 12 more dollars and hour? Then your return is simple. That 50% more then you where generating before with NO time.. Now you have your time... THINK ON THIS...don't rule it out.
