What You Don’t Put On Your ‘To-Do’ List

It’s very important that as a netpreneur, you mind what you don’t put on your ‘to-do’ list. We’re often cautioned to filter down our to-do list with items that are feasible, but when we do that, we limit ourselves to what can be done, or what ought to be done. Outsourcing, of course, changes the whole ball game.

What was once ‘impossible’ becomes possible. What was once too expensive becomes affordable. And what was once a pipe dream becomes a reality. The only thing that restricts you from achieving the possible, affordable, and real, in this regard, is you.

What You Won’t Do

Which items did you erase because they would take too long to implement by yourself? Put those back on your list, and outsource them as well.

Take a look at your current to-do list. (If you don’t have one, create one here.) What have you scratched off? Which items were too expensive? Put those things back on your list. You can afford to now because outsourcing lets you.

Which items were impossible to create because you lacked the know-how? Put those things back on your list too, and outsource them. Through outsourcing, you don’t have to manufacture your ideas alone.

Yes, You Can!

Despite being well-meaning, a lot of the ‘expert’ advice and guru books we encounter get it all wrong when it comes to painting a realistic picture of what we’re actually capable of. Outsourcing extends both resources and capabilities so that you “can,” instead of “can’t.”

Just imagine if some of the world’s greatest inventors carried the same, “Can’t Do” attitude that you carry  now. Somewhere along the line, these folks disregarded the idea that they were limited to what they could afford or accomplish on their own. Somewhere along the line, these daredevils had enough gumption to trash the notion of self-defeat, and adventure beyond expectation. As a result, we have things like electricity, automobiles, the Internet, and more.

Now it’s your turn. That is, if you allow it.
