Are you just too busy? The answer is most likely an exasperated "YES".  You probably don't even have enough time to read what I am typing. :)  So thank you for taking time out to read this. I noticed on certain sites like Entrepreneur.com they tell you how long it will take you to read an article. I love this idea and it helps me to determine whether or not I will read it. I usually do. So I may start to use that for my future blog post but I digress.

Is Time Slipping Through Your Fingers?

The one thing you can do right now to gain more time in your life to do everything that you want to do is to prioritize items and put them on your calendar. So, I guess that is two things. If things don't land on your calendar, then most likely it will not get done. Have you heard of the phrase out of site, out of mind. Well, that is very true. I use Google Calendar to schedule everything in my life, business & personal. Then I sync it to my phone so I can get reminders of the appointments that I have on my calendar.

How do you prioritize and make more time in your day to do everything you want to do in your life??

Keep It Sunny!

 

No Employees Wanted

As a solopreneur or small business owner the idea of running your business without employees probably has crossed your mind on occasion. The questions you might have pondered quietly are "Is this possible? Why should I consider this and how can I do this?"  Well, it is possible. Many companies have successfully adopted this business model. And it is on the rise. According to Forbes.com "One third of Americans are freelancers (17 million people), contractors and consultants right now and there will be more of them than full-time employees in six years. Also, "Employers are saving more money hiring freelancers because they don’t have to pay benefits and they are looking to hire experts who can complete specialized projects."  Why should you consider this? There are many reasons why it could make sense to shift from the idea of having employees to working with freelancers or partnering with vendor companies to provide support. Entrepreneur.com cites three good reasons:

a) The business does not have employees available to perform the tasks.

b) Demand is uncertain.

c) The job requires a specialized skill that the company lacks or the business owner doesn't plan to specialize in.

Whatever your reason you might want to consider trying out this business model in your company for a short period of time to test it out to see if it is something that can help you to be more efficient and gain more revenue for your company.
