When Should You Outsource?
December 3rd, 2008 by Sue L CanfieldProfessional Organizer Debbie Rosemont recently wrote an article answering the question, when does it make sense to hire a service provider to help? She states:
When your “bill rate” is higher than the cost of the service: If you work in a business, or run a business and can make your business $75 per hour at what you do, then it can make sense to pay someone else a lesser fee (a personal assistant, a house cleaner, an errand service, a bookkeeper) to get things done for you and free up your time to bill clients or bring in new business. In this example, when you perform assistant-type tasks, clean the house, or do your own bookkeeping, when you could otherwise be billing clients, you are essentially paying $75 per hour to have these tasks done!

Sue,
Great blog. I'm so glad you shared the article I wrote with your readers.
As a Professional Organizer and Productivity Consultant, part of my role is to help our clients identify what things they can delegate so they make the most of their time. This is one strategy in getting more done in less time (not just more, but more of the right things); working smarter, not harder. So important for taking a business to the next level or reaching optimal results.

Have an organized and productive end to the year!
Debbie
