I don’t do certain things.
Things like:
- complex websites
- logo design
- complex payroll
- marketing
- financial advice
- social media (for others)
- legal contracts / agreement / minute books etc
Don’t get me wrong. I CAN do most of those things. I have done these things for certain clients in the past but now I prefer to sub it out. It takes me longer than someone who does these things for a living and my knowledge is just enough to get me into trouble. It saves me time and when I think about it – it saves me $$ too.
Like most business owners – we prefer to work on our business but not ON our business (if you know what I mean). I know a few examples of people who at tax time are pulling their hair out trying to sort out receipts in a cardboard box and put them in some order. I also have had clients give me that cardboard box. It’s just easier.
So, if you are reading this and you have a skillset that would be useful to other small business owners – drop me a line! I’d love to hear from you and pass your name on to others who may be in the market for your services! We all need to stick together!
