Top 10 Things You Should Stop Doing
Proper outsourcing can be the make or break of many small businesses and yet we often resist it. There are lots of excuses, but none of them actually hold any water.

“I’ll just do it quickly and get it out of the way.”
“It will cost me more to have someone else do this.”
And so on. The thing is, your time and energy are finite. And with all due respect, there are some things that someone else can do better!
You should only be doing the things that directly create revenue, involve exploring new business opportunities, that no one else can do, or that you really enjoy. That’s it.
Because statistics show that if you keep trying to be a “one-person-band”, your business will not grow.
