“Outsourcing” Versus “Doing It Yourself”…

Posted on 26. Mar, 2009 by Vince Cianci in Network Marketing Mindset, Network Marketing Training

It’s a question that can sometimes take a while to answer. On one hand you like to learn new things and perhaps be up for a challenge, and on the other hand you might not have the time to ‘re-do’ things over & over. You might have noticed that over the last 2 days this network marketing blog was no where to be found! I tried to download WordPress and install it onto another Blog that I am in the process of starting. I set up a new domain name and wanted to attached WordPress to it and then upload a new Theme. WordPress is very, very, very easy to use. Downloading it for me was something else! I’ve always heard that downloading it and installing it is also quick and very easy to do so when the instructions I went on my way. Something you should know about me is that I am not too technical and I don’t follow instructions very well. Perhaps that’s why I failed school and didn’t continue on to University. You can read more about that in my About Me Section.

What is marketed as a “5 Minute WordPress Install” took me just under 3 hours!!! Well even after 3 hours it wasn’t installed but I did get a MASSIVE headache!! Not only that, when I checked this blog it was gone! Vanished from the Blogisphere! So I called my good friend Michael Martin @ Pro Blog Design who downloaded, installed & designed this blog you are currently reading to help get it back up, fix up the problem I caused with the new one & get everything 100% ok and online! And again Thanks Michael.

What did I learn??? I learn’t the concept of “OutSourcing”.

I should have asked for Michael’s services upfront and saved myself one of the biggest headaches I’ve ever had. Plus I thought of at least 10 things I could have spent doing which are more exciting but I chose to “Do It Myself”.

Somethings you have the power, the patience and the persistance to see to the end. And somethings you don’t. Simple.

Proper Preperation Prevents Piss Poor Performance. The 6 P’s.

I failed to ‘prepare’ which means I set myself up for failure. If you don’t prepare in your business how can you expect success. Outsource the things you have no experience with while you learn slowely in your down time. What I went through over the last 24hrs or so I wont repeat again. I know what I can do and know what I cant.

Know your strenghts & weaknesses. Many people say work on your weaknesses but they would be unknowingly misleading you. Continue to work on your strenghts. Could Tiger Woods have become a Master Tennis player? I doubt it. Tiger focuses on his strenghts (GOLF) When people see him practicing they think he is practicing on his poor performing swings when in fact his building on his already almost perfect swings. Know what your good at and know what your bad at.

In your business you might be terrible at bringing in leads but might be a superstar at closing leads provided to you. Solution: Team up with something who is great at bringing in leads but terrible at closing and work together. Together Everyone Acheives More (TEAM).

Note: Remember, you cant be good at everything. Focus and build on your already strong points and Outsource everything you suck at because God knows we suck at many things!!
