Part of changing your mindset is giving other people tasks
that you would normally have done yourself.
It’s also about using your resources efficiently.  If you can
buy an ebook about something for $50, and have that teach
your guys how to do it, why wouldn’t you do that instead
of spending 3-4 hours creating training yourself?
Is your time really only worth $12/hour?
It’s the same thing with ReplaceMyself.com.
Did you know that 98% of the content inside ReplaceMyself.com isn’t for you!
No, IT’S NOT FOR YOU!
It’s for you to give to your guys to train them.
It’s process lists.It’s step by step training.It’s business concepts.It’s minute details to make sure stuff gets done correctly.
The point of ReplaceMyself.com is to help you change your mindset.
If you don’t change it, how can you ever expect to be the
CEO of your company?
Here’s the training to hand off to your Filipino VA’s.
All of this stuff is there to help you move towards the lifestyle
you want to be living.
If you’re not living it now, when are you going to start?
“As soon as…?”
“As soon as…” never comes.
Today’s the day to start.
I understand that this is a blatant ad for my website.
I’ve just seen too many people try to hire someone, not train them, and then complain that “this doesn’t work.”
It does work.
You just have to train the people you hire…and then manage them well.

Over the past few months I’ve begun to realize that doing
outsourcing correctly requires a change in mindset.

See…most people are so used to busting their own butt to get stuff done,
that giving their work to other people is very foreign to them.
It’s almost unnatural.
I know often people think “If I do it myself it’l get done faster and better.”

That’s exactly the wrong mindset I’m talking about.
The problem with it is that you’ll always be the one doing it.
Even if it does get done faster and better, you’re still
limiting the amount of stuff that gets done.
When you change your mindset, you start giving stuff to other
people and letting them figure it out.
No, I’m not talking about giving business decisions to other
people, you still have to do that.
I’m talking about tasks that someone else can do.
ALL OF THEM.
For example, here’s a list of things I recently had my people
do for me:
Set up a listing for meconvert all my videos using Supercreate and encode a video for me using 2 different videos and an audio streamupload my personal pictures from my personal PC to my flickr account (hey…this is about lifestyle…I’m tired of doing this!)Set up an aweber mailing listWrite a sales letter (yes, you read that right…and they did a dang good job too).Tell me what ebook in which industry we should write next! I did very little training for this stuff because I’ve already given them so much training (all the stuff that’s available as a ReplaceMyself.com member) that now they can figure out almost anything):
After your guys are trained, they can do ANYTHING!
You just have to change your mindset!
