Actually, I don’t really like the word outsourcing, simply because it has really stupid negative associations. Delegation is a much better word.

@ Anne – Best two weeks we ever had

@ Iain – I can’t? Oh man. Don’t say that. No no. Yes you can. Just not in the amounts you’d like!

@ Note 2 – Taking care of yourself is crucial. Absolutely, definitely. If you don’t take care of yourself and your projects, who will?

(and since you’re a regular now, can I get a name? I feel weird calling you Note)

@ Janice – Mmmhm. You said it all right there.

What types of business related things have you outsourced? Yeah, since teaming up with other bloggers- I’ve benefited not only from their friendship but also from their experience, resources, opportunities and contacts. A joint venture or working with a team has its pros and cons. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve got a lot to learn. Thanks for the example (thinking about a vacation…)

Great post!

Iain Broome´s last blog post…10 things to write on in an emergency!

This means working on what produces the work. Your mindset.

Weakened belief systems can reduce you to the idea that you should place others needs ahead of our own. When you do this you become a slave to what you think will please other people and put your own dreams and desires on the hold. Maybe forever.

People who desperately seek the approval of others will always manipulate their schedule to fit into someone they see as having higher value than themselves.

If you never work on your belief systems that lead to this cycle of doomed behaviour, you’ll never be fulfilled.

I don’t know where to tell you to look for it but if you can find a program called “Creating Change That Lasts” by Tony Robbins, this is a 12 cd course that goes deep into what stops you from doing what you want to do and how to disrupt this pattern so you can move onto a level of thinking that supports your ideal life.

After you get this find Dan Kennedy’s “Renegade Millionaire Time Management” program. It’s awesome. This man writes maybe more than any person on this site and still makes time for consulting, live seminars, and horse racing.

The big idea I pulled from this program was too script your day every night before you go to bed. Then take your commitments to spend your time as you wish as seriously as you would an appointment with President Obama.

Check these resources out. I’m sure you’ll love em’.

Knowing why you are doing what you do, why it is important to you in life, and who has a stake in it, can be an eye opener too. Shifts the time focus a bit.

Love this post Harry.

@ Bamboo – An ebook is 1) Fast and 2) Easy if you know how to write and do proper design. It’s a great way to go if you have an idea that stands out!

@ Tony – You have my curiosity piqued. I’m going to have to check that out, because I think it might blend in nicely with a small ace I have up my sleeve…

@ Friar – Um… Awesome, yes. Feasible? No. But work once, sell many is a good idea to get to that lazy chair you have goin’ on!

@ Everyone – Go read JD’s comment, because that just about sums it up right there. That’s exactly why we all do what we do – because we feel good about it later. Don’t feel good? Don’t do it. Focus on what matters.

@ Charlie – Obviously if you have time to come comment, you’re slacking off somewhere else. And you didn’t pick up your towels off the floor, dude.

@ Lisa – You know what? I read your comment, laughed out loud and thought…

The world is a better place when people laugh. You go, girlfriend.

Yes . . . it most certainly does, doesn’t it. The best way I’ve found to go about it (so far) is to build slowly.

As soon as I find myself in an opportunity to write an e-book about something that has true value for customers, I will do it.

Funny thing is, a lot of people who should do this resist the idea, thinking that their customers won’t like it. If you pitch it right, they LOVE it, and after a few years, it becomes dependable, regular income that lets you coast through the inevitable dry periods.
