One of the key mottos of our network is "if it isn't your genius, it isn't your job".

However, most people who are just starting out or even some existing businesses who are tight on cash flow cannot afford to hire for pay all the people they need to help them.

That is why we teach people in our network about joining each others teams and joint ventures etc, in a cooperative model where everyone wins.

This is how our members get more done in less time. I have written some articles about it that are posted at Idea Marketers website. Those should give you some ideas.

Good Luck.

Moogrdotcom,

I appreciate your view point. But the question is, I think I grew bigger than what I can handle myself. And ONE full time person wont do because one person wont have all the skills I need.

All,

Can you give examples of what you have outsourced or what you wish is outsourced?

That is the American dream. Why a person goes into his or her own business instead of going to work.
TO GROW You said "I think I grew bigger than what I can handle" GREAT. As you get bigger, hopefully
you are doing more business and making more money.
Start small. What do you need next. A receptionist?? A sales person?? A bookkeeper to free you from
billing and writing checks?? Advertising?? Marketing??

Thanks O'Gee. I appreciate your reply.

First of all it looks like you are just disorganized. Start making a daily to do list. If something gets added put it at the bottom.

Quickbooks? Set aside one day a week to do books. Keep three file folders..in...out...limbo and use them. Put all the bills and statments in the in folder and one day a week (I use Wednesday) do the books and bills. Lots of times I pay online and then put the bill in the folder to enter in Qbooks.

All the business work you have mentioned you need to prioritize and then tackle each item one at a time. Keep a notebook to make notes on the other items when you think of something but it seems that you are letting yourself get distracted. By the way...also take time to go online to the credit bureaus and make sure your credit history is correct. You can dispute online and they will respond.

Obligations to close relatives? Like what...are your parents incapacitated? (I am exclusing obligations to children here for obvious reasons). Or is there a horde of vampires leeching the lifeblood and money out of you? Are you one of those people that cannot say "No?" and end up tired, frustrated and worn out? It's OK to tell the relatives No, if you don't believe me ask Dr. Laura.

You can outsource the accounting and legal work thats what these people are there for. But if its your business you are going to have to start drawing the line somewhere and ask yourself what really is important....everyone elses problems or your priorities.

You may want to do meal planning and shop from that list. Keep the list on the fridge and do not deviate. Keep one night open for take out/pizza.

Theres a book called "Getting Things Done" that may be of some help as well.
