Here’s my short list of outsourcing hiring advice:
- Stay away from the young ones...hire 26 and above. I know, I know, it doesn’t seem fair…but, you must treat this hiring process as a business and not a personal… Continue reading
It’s almost the New Year and a great time to share a few of my own experiences as I’ve come through a year of first hand study in the outsourcing world….a world I completely engulfed myself in.
It’s all well… Continue reading
Has anyone else felt how “fast” things are moving these days? Truthfully, it’s almost hard to keep up with technology the advances are so quick and impactful.
This wave of technology is affecting everything in our lives…particularly the way we do business. The movement towards a global economy has not only begun, it is moving forward with lightning speed and will continue to evolve and expand.
No matter where you are located in the US or any another country, the days of localized economies are a thing of the past. We must stop thinking of our localized communities and countries as being independent and dominant and standing alone.
We have moved into a global economy for many reasons, one being the fact that we can reach anyone in the world in less than a few seconds…and everything in our lives is being affected by it.
This leaves us with two choices:
Ignore this fact…hoping it will go away or flop somehow and everyone will revert back to how it was before the Internet arrived on the scene. (ever hear of evolution reversing itself?…NOT)
Or…. Continue reading
Wow, I can’t believe how much time has passed since my last post. You know I read somewhere that time really is going by faster…and I believe it. Has something to do with the Schumann resonance and the spin of the earth.
Although it seems I haven’t been around much…I actually have been. I have been working diligently with my new business partner Suzen (new business partner…old friend) and we’re very close to opening the doors to our new outsourcing blog.
Actually, we are not only going to cover outsourcing…but it will be a site dedicated to the new entrepreneur that seems to be emerging along with our new global economy.
That coupled with the fact that my 86 year old mom has been in and out of the hospital the past month (more in than out)…not only do I have responsibility to her…but to my 88 year old dad who just has terrible depth perception and requires attention to leave the house anymore.
As much as I love my marketing and my readership…family must always come first…and I hope they do with you also.
Because of many factors….the world economy included…. people are turning to the net in droves to try to carve out a living for themselves and their families. It is now possible for anyone…with determination, perseverance, tenacity and firm faith in themselves…to become the entrepreneur they have dreamed about and possibly for the first time in their lives…be their own boss.
All because the Internet reaches people equally…without prejudice…even the small guy….who now has more opportunity than he has ever had before. Continue reading

Anyone who has read “4 Hour Work Week” by Timothy Ferriss will appreciate why I’ve included a link to a chapter in his
book with this post. If you have not already read this mind-expanding eye opener then an introduction by way of this chapter will be enough to have you hankering for more…I am sure of it.
For those not in the know, “4 Hour Work Week” the first book written by Timothy Ferriss, was released in 2007 and is now sold into 35 languages after reaching number one on both the New York Times and Wall Street Journal Best Seller list.
But, that’s not what this post is about…you can read all you want about Tim Ferriss and his accomplishments (and, there are many) on his own site…which I am going to link to in a moment ;)….
Point I want to make here is that there is a movement that possibly originated or at least gained tremendous ground as it exploded out to the consciousness of the masses with the release of Tim’s book…a whole new paradigm of thought about “lifestyle design.”
In the book Tim Ferriss uses the acronym DEAL for the four main chapters. It stands for: Definition, Elimination, Automation, and Liberation. Continue reading
