Barb Scott* Business owners will have probably heard that one of the secrets to business success is to delegate, delegate, delegate. Also, these owners would be painfully aware of the hours wasted trying to manage a long list of repetitive, uninteresting but totally necessary tasks. While annoying, ignoring these administrative tasks is risky. Owners end up with their paperwork in chaos, the Tax Office and the accountant on their backs, no idea if they are making a profit or, worse, causing the business to fail. If you don’t have anyone who can take of this work, you end up having to cram it into your already busy day. Outsourcing may be one way you can relieve yourself of the pressure and reclaim some precious time.
