Quitting my job and became wealthier? You must be curious about the title of my article. Is this true? Absolutely! Read on and you will know what jobs I quit in exchange to a more prosperous venture.
In my article "The Seven Habits of Highly Successful Entrepreneur, my primary concept here is TIME. How you value your time plays an integral part to your success. You can either be wasting your time or utilizing it to the fullest. How? That is why I quit my jobs.
Let me elaborate. I realize that most of my jobs (not all though) are not contributing to my sales. They are not allowing me to earn more. So here's what I did.
First, I quit my lawn mowing job and had it outsourced to a professional landscapers. They were faster and performed a better mowing job than me. I only paid a few bucks but saved 2-3 hours of my time. Now I gained three more hours doing more opportune activities.
Next, I quit washing my cars. Although I admit that washing your car is kind of fulfilling especially when it is new, but the truth is, it is a waste of time. How much do you have to pay for a car wash? About $5 or $20 dollars at the most? Don't you think there are more possibilities to earn more with those hours rather than spending it on washing cars?
Then I decided to quit swimming pool maintenance. This is a tough job and not worth my time either. So I had this outsourced as well. No more wasted time on jobs that can be outsourced.
The next job I quit was a hard decision to make...my accounting job. I have been doing this for years and have given a lot of time in budgeting and accounting since my business started. It was kind of hard for me to let go but I have to. It was not making me productive (in terms of generating wealth), so it is best to give it to someone else while I plan for new strategies for my business' growth and success.
That's not it. I also gave up my Project Coordinator job. You see, I also recently wrote another article entitled "The Art of Delegation". So that's what I did, delegated my project coordinator job. The time spent for coordinating projects can be put to a more profitable task. I could brainstorm marketing ideas with my clients or formulate marketing strategies that can be useful to my business or my client's business. Now, isn't that a better job for me to do than simply coordinating projects?
Simply put, saving funds on tasks that can be outsourced or delegated will not make you wealthier at all. If you want to have a wealthier life, choose to do a job that will help in improving your sales. And to achieve higher sales, you need to have compelling marketing strategies, good products and the best services available to your clientele.
Spending your time on more valuable jobs allow you to run your business successfully and bring more revenues to your company. Now it's your turn to make your life wealthier. Try to find out the jobs you can let go of and open another door of opportunities that can contribute to the increase of your sales and to the overall success of your business.
