Organizing Magic- Step 6: SUPPORT
Organizing what I call “support” is essential for the BusinessMom. Just face it, life is full of surprises. Whether it is a plan gone into emergency status or an unexpected opportunity, my advice is to create back up plans, systems and support teams, that will carry you over life’s bumps.
As the scouts would say, “Be Prepared!” Look for people around you who could take some of the tasks off your list. These may be right under your nose….a family member, a neighbor, a kid from down the block or a stay at home mom looking for some very part time income.
Finding ways to delegate and outsource doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. You could get started brain storming this with a simple piece of paper. Draw a line down the middle.
On one side list everything YOU must do personally. On the other list the zillion other things that need doing- but don’t absolutely have to be done by you. Those are the ones to delegate or outsource. Remember, there doesn’t have to be just ONE person to do all these things. It can be an assortment of helpers.
