It boils down to stop trying to do everything yourself. Put a dollar value per hour on your time and aim for $75 - $100. Then you realize doing something yourself is NOT free but extremely expensive. Then you can look into outsourcing (programming, virtual assistant, copy writing, etc) with a more open mind. Once you are doing that you are making much more effective use of your time and you will not need as much time to get more done than you are now.
Following this (especially points 6-8) worked really well for me http://sivers.org/how2hire http://sivers.org/how2hire.
It took me a really long time to get this and actually do something about it. It's very liberating and exciting to see completed work come back.
- dhimes 15y agoHow much does it cost? Their page doesn't say.
- dazzla 15y ago$50/month
- dholowiski 15y agoOne month of doing this in my spare time has cost me 196 hours of my spare time. At $75 an hour, that's $14,700. I do have 196 hours of spare time, I do not have $14,700.
- dazzla 15y agoSo you have spent $14,700. You could have reduced that to $4,000 by outsourcing at a high $20/hr and got it done sooner. You might have been collecting revenue by now. Your project would have been further along and you'd have more time to enjoy life, move the project even further along or do another project.
