Do you have enough time to make money?

by ShannonCherry on July 17th, 2008

You’ve heard about the 4-hour work week. We’ve even spoken to Michael Port about outsourcing and systemizing on Success Secrets. But are you really doing it?

I know; you don’t think you could afford it. Or you don’t think you could let go of ‘your stuff.’

I was much like you. 

But what I learned from Melanie Benson Strick, is that by outsourcing I am saving money, getting the work done, and allowing myself to be more readily available for other income-generating projects that come up in my business.

Here are just some of the things I have others doing for me:

1. researching ideas and news stories for blog posts
2. updating shopping cart info
3. monitoring emails
4. setting up my schedule
5. updating web content
6. bookkeeping
7. general correspondence

I must say, learning about the real value and exactly how to outsource has made a world of difference to my business.  I just wish I had it all in place when I started!
