What I am Reading This Week - Virtual Freedom by Chris Ducker

4/1/2014

If you think outsourcing is just for big companies you have never met Chris Ducker!

I'll admit, I was scared off of the concept for a long time. What about the language barrier? What about being fair and just in hiring practices? What about communication challenges?

Does it take effort to build a virtual team? Absolutely! But it is definitely worth it.

I love that Chris goes into detail on the how of building your virtual team, along with best practices, tips, and case studies of people who are using it in their every day business.

So leave a comment below - what one task do you wish you never had to do again?

Hi Rivka,

Chris Ducker is a pleasant individual. Virtual Freedom is the go-to book to get properly educated about outsourcing your life.

I struggled with outsourcing for a very long time but in mid 2013, I stopped resisting.

I now have a small virtual team to take care of the majority of the tedious tasks to maintain my online business. They handle the correspondence between my podcast guests, finding and scheduling guest appearances for me, lead generation, and handling my mountains of email.

Why didn't I do this back in 2008?

Check this out...

My hubby encouraged me to outsource most of my personal chores. Now we have an amazing housekeeper. I may even outsource my grocery shopping but I'm still resistant on that one:)

Keep up the great work.

Best,
Stacie Walker

Thanks so much for the comment Stacie! I agree, the more time we can free up to give our best gifts to the world the better for everyone. :-)

I don't outsource my shopping, but I do automate it. I am on a mission to never go shopping again and automate all my regular purchases and I am almost there. That might be an interesting topic for another blog post. :-)

My Two Cents
