What Is Outsourcing?
Outsourcing is a popular terminology in today's society. Fundamentally, it means to pay someone to perform certain duties, so that you, the SuperMom, business owner, employee, or homeowner, have more time to focus on your most critical responsibilities. For instance, if you own your own business, outsourcing allows you to devote more time to revenue-generating activities. If you are an employee, outsourcing may provide you with additional time to complete the most important duties, so that you may spend more time at home. Conversely, if you are a homeowner, outsourcing relieves you of repetitive or tedious activities, such as decluttering, organizing, deep cleaning, mowing the lawn or landscaping, house updates or projects, and general house maintenance. Initially, you may be resistant to delegating and outsourcing, especially if you like certain things done a certain way.
