My Awesome (Wo)Manager
So recently I realized that I need a manager! I meet people and get business cards and promptly lose them (or they get lost in the abyss which is my 'everywhere' bag!), I see great opportunities on-line - bookmark - and then forget about them, I need someone to handle phone calls from important people and make sure that my business is handled!
But there's a caveat, you see I'd have to hire a manager, and by having to hire a manager I'd have to PAY a manager! Now that brings up an interesting question: What's the worth of what I need a manager for? Am I generating enough income to justify paying somebody 10-20% of that income? Will that person bring in enough to justify themselves!!
Which brought me to a realization: I already have a person who fits the bill! ME!!! I have no cause to lose business cards (I've organized by bag!!), I have marked calendar events based on the bookmarks I MUST follow up on, I've began scheduling 1 hour a day to deal with phone calls, and I HAVE to make sure my business is handled. It's not easy!! But it is absolutely true: Being your own boss means that you must be willing to sacrifice for your own career. If you won't do this for yourself no amount of money paid to a third party will guarantee you success! Get mindset ready to handle success and you will be surprised by the success that mindset will help generate! Be your own awesome manager!!;)
