April is always such a busy month for me – both of my daughter’s birthdays are in April, and it always seems like that is when everything else starts up as well…(soccer, swimming lessons, etc. etc……).

But, I have made a conscious decision this year that I am going to also make sure that my business is taken care of as well – and while I am still going to be as busy as I can doing everything I need to do every day to grow my business, (sadly, at the expense of my spring housecleaning, but that is another matter altogether!), I know that I can’t possibly do everything that needs to be done.

Time For A Leap Into The Great Unknown!

So, a few days ago, I took a gigantic leap of faith, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that all will work out!

I went ahead and hired a few people to work for me that I can outsource some tasks to – link building, writing articles, and things like that.  While I enjoy writing, and write all my own content for my blogs, I do sometimes have others write articles for me which I can submit to directories or use for content on other sites.

I worry that I won’t be able to afford it, and I worry that I won’t even have enough work for them off the bat.  But, I wanted to give a couple of the people I interviewed a chance to work with me, and I am so glad I did!

It is amazing how it feels to have a bit of the weight lifted off your shoulders!  Knowing that other people are working with you, to help you.

And, I have to say, that the ones I hired all seem like genuinely nice people – and I look forward to having them on my team.

But Can I Afford It?

I will worry for the next little while, because it is going to cost me some money.  But, I had a bit of a revelation the other day, which I would like to share with you, because it could be something you struggle with in your own business as well…..

As I was getting ready to purchase yet another “system” to add to my marketing efforts, I kind of sat back and let myself really think it through.

Did I really need another system to learn?  Why not keep working with what I do know, and keep moving it forward as much as I can?

Because this is really where I believe many of us who are getting into Internet Marketing struggle – and that is always looking for more answers, more strategies, more money making ideas, without really following through with what we already know.

While it is good to always keep learning, there comes a time when you just have to trust that you already know enough that if you just take that knowledge and keep applying it – even though you might not see results immediately – and trust that you can build from it.

Anyways, while what I was thinking of buying was something that would compliment what I already am doing, I held off.

The very next day, I decided that the money I was going to invest into that new “system” would be better spent on having people working with me, doing the small tasks that need to be done, but that we all put off doing while we keep searching for the next “magic” bullet.

So – that is what I am doing.  This week, I will take that money and pay my team of people I hired, and go from there.  I don’t know if I can afford to keep doing it – but I am going to take it one week at a time.  If I see even the tiniest bit of return, then I will take another leap of faith next week and get some more work done.  And, I will just keep going from there, week after week.

If you are at a point in your Internet Marketing career, (if that is the path you have chosen to work at home), where you already have learned enough to get started with something – anything, as long as you get started – then just get started.  And, before you get ready to pull out your wallet and buy that next big thing, make sure you really sit down and decide if it will truly add to what you are already doing.   If it doesn’t – consider taking that money and investing it back into your business.

Perhaps that will be the missing link you have also been looking for!  I know I am really hopeful it will be for me
