Initially, I was afraid of getting caught by management but it went alot better than expected. Soon I was receiving productivity bonuses on my paychecks and the boss was taking the monkey for lunches and even after-work drinks. This was wonderful, as it gave me time to write this very blog comment. Then, one day, I came home and the monkey was doing my wife. Sad story, yes? Who's the monkey now?

It leads to an important question though that I've had for a very long time. Which parts of social networking DO YOU outsource? Obviously the keep up of the posts, the videos, the links, the twitterering, etc. take longer than 4 hours a week. So while, like you, I'll always provide the original content which pieces of the upkeep do you send to someone else? Thanks man. See you in the stairwell, Rory Vaden Take The Stairs Tim,

I have been outsourcing for a while now. My VA handles my call reports and power point presentations and perception is reality. I am making more money and closing more deals because I am not wasting time on the BS paperwork. It is great thanks for the great site, lots of fun and very inspirational. Go forth and do as little as you can. Very well done. I have been outsourcing for a while now. My VA handles my call reports and power point presentations and perception is reality.
