Make Life Easier - Do the Obvious
Have you ever seen a small child try to lift a heavy object? Believe as he may, the child will struggle and strain, moan and groan, totally convinced that he can lift the heavy object.
Dad comes along and easily lifts the item and puts it where the child was trying to move it. For the child, no matter how convinced he was that he could do it, he just couldn't. For Dad, it was a piece of cake.
We don't change much as we grow older. Especially if we are entrepreneurs. It takes nerve to go against the grain and begin a business or work from home. Money is tight, so it makes sense that you will just have to do everything... even lifting the heavy objects.
Smart entrepreneurs have figured out a way around doing everything themselves. Its called networking. Many moan that they just don't have time to meet new people. Time is money! The fact is, that how you spend that time is money. Not time itself. You can spend hours trying to lift something heavy, or ... you could find someone who knows how to lift it and trade services. Not everything has a price tag - to other entrepreneurs, your services are like gold, and visa versa.
An accountant might want to build a web site and a web designer might need an accountant for instance.
Give yourself a gift ... lean to your strengths and never lean to your weaknesses. Let someone else do it!
Remember - "If its not your genius - its not your job."
