This is excellent. You see when it comes to a stage where you need to get some help I am so bad. I want to do everything (except techie stuff) myself.
YOu have given great list for me to chose from.

Damayanthi,
The trick is to figure out what really needs to be done by you and what can be turned over to someone else. Note this includes leadership roles in your Network Marketing we should be empowering others to step into a leadership position on our team.
Both of these allows to do more with less of our valuable time invested.
Thanks
Bill

Marquel,
Well you may have it right, the A/C is a creature comfort. The VA is a necessity with all we need to do with today’s demands.
Thanks

I have not used a VA yet! I’m one of those that have to do everything myself. But that’s crazy when you can get a real VA to help!
Thanks Bill for opening my eyes.

Ginny,
The trick is to start out slowly with filler items and as you build confidence in their abilities and loyalty you can give them much more. One of the top MLM leader recently said they never took care of their own landscape. Why spend an hour doing something you can pay someone else to do. You can take that hour and focus directly one growing your business.
Thanks
Bill
