As a business owner it can be extremely difficult to take some of your tasks and hand them off to someone else to complete. What if the quality is not as good? What if the task is not completed by the deadline? It just seems easier to hang on and do these things yourself. After a while though, you may begin to notice that you are working many more hours than you ever intended too. What does all of this mean? It is time to let go a little in order to grow and open up your time.
I am postive that when you started your business or if you do start one that you are not intending to work harder than you already do at your 9-5. Be prepared to give away some of your tasks then…it is inevitable. In fact, as an MBA student I have actually learned that the best managers are those that know how to effectively delegate the required tasks to subordinates.
If you run a blog you will need to have a ghost writer, an article writer and perhaps interns to continue to grow and enhance your business. James Brausch wrote an article last week that advises that you would need to work at least 400 hours a week to make it happen. I suggest you take a look at his blog regularly to see how he makes this work - www.jamesbrausch.org.
Well obviously as a single person, there are not that many hours in a week! Take a look around the search engines for those that offer ghost writing services, if need be throw and advertisement on Craigslist. It may surprise you how a few dollars can free up your entire day to pursue other interests.
