Outsourcing is The Secret to a Successful Business
Back in the day, you must’ve heard the saying, “Don’t put your focus in your business, focus on your business.”
If you look at the phrase in today’s terms, it roughly translates to why go through the trouble of handling your business when you can outsource it? As a business owner, there are a million and one things you have to look after. But, if you outsource your work, you have all this free time to do what you love – that’s two birds with one stone. Waiting for retirement to defer your tasks to someone in such an outdated concept. Guess what? You don’t have to wait at all!
Why Outsource?
Who could forget the time when Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, said that he chooses lazy people to do difficult tasks because lazy people always look for easy ways to get it done. Some of the best reasons to outsource your work are it’s cheaper, quicker, and more often than not, you might be able to find people with better skills, experience, and more resources than you do. If you ask us, this makes it an absolute no-brainer. If you can find someone faster, cheaper, and better than you, what more do you need?
Imagine having no more than a four-hour workweek. Haven’t you heard of the dictum ‘work smarter, not harder’? Forget about the 24 x 7, 365 days a year, 9-to-5 jobs. You don’t always have to keep the machine running. If life has no room for pleasure, what’s the point of being a successful business owner?
What A Freelancer Wants From You
The first formula for successful outsourcing is having clear and concise objectives. If you walk into a fast-food restaurant and ask for a number 5 from the menu, they’ll definitely know what you’re talking about. If you walk in and just say you’re hungry, no one will be able to satisfy your needs.
So, generally, what should you outsource? Give out jobs that are repetitive, well defined, and can’t be messed up too easily. Other than that, you should outsource the tasks that you can’t handle. For instance, if you need to build a website for your business, hire someone who is well-versed in web design. Give specific instructions with examples so that both your and the freelancer’s life is made easy with the collaboration.
