Quote from James A.Hart on July 16, 2025, 10:55 pmWhen we think of outsourcing, most people immediately picture virtual assistants handling tasks like customer support or data entry. But that’s just the beginning.
The most successful entrepreneurs don’t just outsource work—they outsource everything that slows them down, including parts of their personal life.
Let’s say you’re making $100/hour. That means anything you do that can be outsourced for $20/hour is costing you money. Not just business tasks—even mowing the lawn, cleaning the house, or booking travel.
This isn’t about being lazy. It’s about being intentional with your energy.
Every hour you spend on low-leverage tasks is an hour you’re not spending on growth, strategy, or recharging. And when you’re building something big, your time and focus are your most valuable assets.
Here’s the mindset shift:
Don’t ask “Can I do this?”
Ask “Should I be doing this?”If the answer is no, then find someone else to do it—in life and in business.
The more you outsource, the more time you free up for the things only you can do: thinking, building, leading.
