SYS 005: How to Overcome Your Fears and Start Outsourcing Your Work

He explains where to hire capable people and pay what they will feel is a good wage without having to spend a fortune to do so. The advice in this episode is designed to enable you to hire someone right now. Allowing you to refocus your efforts immediately and focus on the things that will make the biggest positive difference to your business.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Most people believe that they cannot afford to hire an assistant. In reality, virtually everyone can actually find the cash to hire help.
- If you are smart about who you hire you need not commit to paying out a lot of money.
- Hiring freelancers means you do not have to pay NI, sick pay, or buy their equipment.
- With a freelance arrangement, should the work dry up, you will not be left having to pay wages regardless.
- Freelancers who live in India, the Philippines, and some other countries are more than happy to work for a relatively low hourly rate.
- Many entrepreneurs believe that they cannot spare the time to hire and train an assistant.
- It need only take you a few hours to find workers and get them started.
- There is no excuse to put off hiring an assistant for another day. Steve explains how to get it done today.
- If you free up just 10 minutes of your time per day, that adds up to over 40 extra hours you have each year.
- As a business owner, you should not be doing any of the low or no value tasks.
- When you free yourself from doing mundane tasks the profitability of your business soars, which easily covers the cost of paying the people you hire.
- All the time you are stuck doing simple tasks in your business you are missing out on opportunities. Which is costing you money.
