Great post Ruby! I know how it feels to spend hours and hours trying to do something in my business that i probably should of outsourced. I came real close to throwing my computer out the window several times. Lol. Even though the problem would still exist……it would of felt so good at the time. Lol
I’m so grateful that i now understand the power of outsourcing and the leverage that it adds to my business. I really appreciate your post and recommendations…..and i will be sure to pass this along to my friends.
Thanks Ruby…..and good luck on cooking that duck!!

Thanks for stopping by Antoine, I think we’ve all been at the ‘pick a window’ stage with our computers at some time or another. I’ll let you know how the duck turns out
Excellent post! Sometimes it’s difficult to give up that “control” and let someone else do it – but it can be so worth it in the end

I think it can, even if you are quite technically minded. We need to let go of the need to control, the procrastination opportunity that fussing over blog installations and designs offers, and the simple terror that the very idea of asking for help creates. Easier said than done, but we all have better (more lucrative) things that we could be doing with our time instead of learning to beat WordPress into submission
Hi Ruby,
you are speaking true words…it’s all about delegation – and before delegation comes elimination. I always ask myself: Is this a task that need to be done ? If not, I eliminate it. Period.
Take care

Ruby,
I like the way you think, I love to outsource and let the pros handle graphic design, and all the programming and tech stuff so i can focus my efforts on building relationships and my business.

I think part of my problem is that my background is in design and IT, so I tend to think I should do stuff myself, it’s almost a matter of personal pride that I CAN do it. But the longer I spend being a perfectionist over the small stuff the more I realise it’s not my job any more and I should be passing it over to someone whose job it still is. Not an easy thing to do, but it needs to be done.
Hey Ruby,
Such a timely post for me as I’m in the middle of doing so much stuff in my business, articles, videos, social media. You name it! Sometimes I feel like a headless chicken (headless duck even!)
Glad I found your blog and I love the clean design layout you have.
I’ll be adding your feed!

Thanks Bailey, I’m glad you found it useful, even if only to alert you to your headless condition
