About the Author
Here are some examples of services you might hesitate to use, but could be essential to keeping you
in your zone of genius so you can create and serve
your clients/customers best:
A maid that makes sure the house is in order
A grocery delivery service that brings the food to
your front door
A personal assistant who runs to the post office or
does other errands for you
A personal trainer who comes to teach you yoga at
your house
A virtual assistant who plans all your travel, answers customer service emails, and flags problems
for your attention
Prior to 2014, the most I had ever made with my
freelance writing was $30,000 doing it part-time.
But that year, I nearly quadrupled my income by
taking my mentor’s words to heart and making
sure that I was happy and focused (rather than
distracted by a mounting to-do list I’d never get to)
using this technique.
Start small. Identify one service you can use per
week to help free up an hour of time. Then make
sure you dedicate that hour to business-essential
tasks and see where it takes you.
