Outsource Weekly Excerpt
by Nicole Dean
If there was one thing I’d go back and outsource sooner, it would be my customer support and my emails.
Why? For a number of reasons…
Benefit #1: It takes a LOT less time now than I ever spent.
I’ve never been accused of being aloof, so I’ll tell you like it is.
This is embarrassing, but oh well.
I have “shiny object syndrome”. In fact, I think that most internet marketers have a bit of ADD where any shiny object pulls your attention away from the thing that you’re doing.
Emails, instant messenger, a new product that’s launching that everyone’s talking about, a cool website, phone, Twitter, “ooh a new friend found me on facebook…” etc.
“What was I working on again?”
When I was answering my own emails, I’d run off to investigate the answers or find out more about the topic, click through on the links that were sent to me, or just plain old get sidetracked and head off to work on more pressing matters.
I’d get shiny object syndrome and spend an hour answering an email and come back and go “oops, I never responded” because I’d run off in 100 different directions between opening the email and hitting send.
So, when I finally outsourced my emails, I was quite embarrassed to see that the virtual assistants were only spending 15 minutes/day on something that was taking me a lot more time.
Benefit #2: It keeps me more positive.
You know the story. You get one crabby person who is just downright mean, for no reason at all. Well, some people can let that roll off their backs, but, when it’s your business that they’re talking about, it can feel awfully personal in a hurry.
My poor hubby had to dry some tears after one particularly horrid woman came after me, repeatedly being mean. And, she wasn’t even a customer! ((shudder))
Benefit #3: You’re Going to Have to Do It Eventually. The Sooner you Do It, the Easier the Transition Is.
Anyway, I’d held off outsourcing my emails for a long time, because I couldn’t believe that anyone would take as good of care of my customers, loyal readers, and JV requests as I possibly could.
That was until I realized that Bill Gates doesn’t answer customer questions.
Hmmm…
So, in essence, I was again punishing myself for success. The BIGGER my business grew, the more emails I’d get – the more miserable I was and the more I was stuck on my bottom, working many more hours than I’d cared to.
Success had again became a punishment for me.

This course is the perfect starting point for any beginner by learning when to outsource it and even should consider offshore outsourcing services. You see, Nicole & Jimmy have this thing called “integrity” that has caused Nicole to pour a lot more into this course than she ever imagined. When interviewed recently, she stated “I can not teach people how to Outsource a task until they understand 1. if they need to be doing it, and 2. how it should be done effectively. Otherwise, they’re just throwing money away.”
Out of all the people on the next, these are two I would trust with my kids….and you can trust them to deliver golden nuggets of oursourcing secrets.
