4 Reasons to Pass the Buck

By pass the buck, I mean it in the nicest way possible!

When we created the team at MyNAMS, there were 3 major things we had to accomplish.

Decrease the workload for me and David.
Increase productivity, reliability and deliverability
Not reduce net income ( more on this later)

Outsourcing may seem like a pain sometimes. There can be headaches — especially if you’re running into problems with your team or aren’t recouping your investment with corresponding revenues.

You might wonder, “Is this really worth it?”

My answer – YES!!!!!!! ( I know. I’m shouting.)

I can solve more problems for my customers and clients when I outsource. The business helps more people.

Outsourcing allows us to build wealth. You’ll never build wealth if you’re always trading hours for dollars. There’s no leveragability when you’re doing everything yourself.

It enables us to have fun. If you’re not having fun in your business, what’s the point of doing it? You can’t have fun if you’re doing all the things in your business yourself. I don’t want to have more stress. Do you?I don’t want to do the things I used to do when I was in a cube doing a job I didn’t enjoy, working for someone else.

It creates ultimate freedom and flexibility. Outsourcing is all about freeing up your time and building a business that runs without you involved all the time. It helps you scale so you can do more and serve more.

If you’re outsourcing and it’s a pain or you’re not seeing the results you want, it could be for several reasons:

You’re not clearly and effectively communicating your expectations to your team.
You aren’t clear about what aspects of your business could and should be delegated.
You’re not tying every outsourcing activity to an end-goal of creating more revenue.

So if your outsourcing efforts aren’t working, is it all your fault?

Well, kinda. Hard to hear I know but we’re friends and friends tell each other the truth, right?

Yes, you can get someone working with you that doesn’t do a good job. But you’re the boss. So if you don’t clearly communicate your expectations and measure your results, ya it is your fault.

Success comes through delegating, managing, and getting other people to perform aspects of your business that are not your strengths and do not make the best use of your time.

So, my best advice to you is to get your plan on paper and have a way to communicate your expectations and measure your results. This is the only way having an effective team works. For both you and them!

You’re going to see more about the importance of outsourcing from us. Now that I know what it’s like to work like this, I’m never going back!

Is Outsourcing a Luxury or a Necessity?

By Jen Perdew 1 Comment

Want to know one of my biggest secrets to success?

Cloning Myself.

That’s right! I have uncovered the secret to cloning myself.

Hiring other people to do various tasks in the business has grown the business like nothing else. Most people think of outsourcing as an expense that eats away at the bottom line. They avoid making the leap to outsourcing because they see it as an expensive luxury instead of an unique problem solver!

Outsourcing is no luxury, it is the KEY to transforming what you do from a J.O.B. to a viable, scalable business.

Most small business owners never catch the vision of the power of outsourcing or what is possible for their businesses when they build a team who is fully invested. Yes, you can hire an outsourced team who cares about and is invested in your business.

If you’re serious about scaling your business, the goal of outsourcing is to

Create more time.
Create more money.
Get more done.

If you continue to run your business as a single person doing everything (not getting help), you will find that you’ve created a really difficult job. Instead creating a scalable and sustainable business means you HAVE to do the things that make the most sense. Like generate income.

Should you do data entry or create proposals to bring on a new client?

Seems like a no brainer right?

But when you have to do every single thing to keep the fires out or the lights on, it becomes difficult to win more business.

Our businesses are full of processes and tasks, and creating revenue and (unfortunately) expenses. The goal is to control the expenses and create more revenue. The best way to do that is to scale what you’re doing. The only way to really make more money is through leverage – cloning yourself.

Without the leverage of delegation, the business would not be what it is today.

Before we started outsourcing on a regular basis, our business was tiny. And so was our vision!

Now we’re scaling and expanding, and it’s because of the outsourcing. My outsourcing bill each month is more than many folks’ monthly business revenues. But we’ve increased our revenue during that same time. Simply because I can focus on bringing in clients, generating revenue or adding pieces to our funnel that bring in automated sales.

Hiring people just to be hiring people isn’t the solution though. Every task or process I outsource creates more revenues.

Many people don’t equate outsourcing with revenue generation. But if you’re doing it right, you should be creating more revenue with every process you outsource.
