Maybe you've heard all about the power of outsourcing. Certainly many people tried to convince me of its value when I first set up my business.

But, like many business owners, I resisted embracing it.

All the reasons seemed good at the time – I didn't know how to find people, I thought I could do it better myself and I was reluctant to spend money that didn't seem necessary.

Yet at the same time, there were not enough hours in the day to do everything that was needed. And I gradually realized that I didn't even know how to do many of the things that were essential for running a business.

It was only when I simply ran out of time to do everything needed that I began to see the true value of outsourcing. And boy do I regret not doing it sooner.
