We just stumbled upon a book that will surely interest many small business owners who work from home. In the Home Office from Hell Cure, author Jeffrey A. Landers, a work-at-home business expert, shares his professional insight on home business success, stating that outsourcing and focusing on work that will generate revenue is the secret to growing a successful work-at-home business.
Amen.
It’s usually a leap for home-based biz owners who often try to do everything themselves. Most are entrepreneurial mavericks, they're used to multi-tasking, and most think it’s cost effective to do it all themselves -- sending out invoices, managing accounts, returning phone calls, handling vendors, checking e-mail, filing, and hundreds of other time-consuming jobs that are necessary.
Sure, small business owners can do it all, but those tasks take up huge amounts of time and typically drain energy and motivation. We tell our clients to live and breathe the 80/20 rule and focus 80% of their time on high-return activities – and that means outsourcing the rest to a virtual assistant.

Good reminder. When I start working with a client I have them put together a list of everything they do. I then have them determine which duties they do really well plus it gives them energy; and those duties that they do okay but they drain their energy. I then have them delegate the duties that drain their energy (usually bookkeeping and other admin. tasks) to somebody else. It is not a productive use of their time.
