Upfront confessions: My name is Jeff and I suffer from
Superhero Syndrome. As someone who is working fulltime, operating a startup
business, helping my wife with her startup and in my “spare time” writing for
my four blogs I can totally relate to the tight grip, control issues and
burnout that Chris Ducker writes about in Virtual
Freedom.
I can certainly relate to the frustration of have an
overflowing plate and simply not enough time to get done the big picture tasks
that most business owners strive to achieve to help grow their businesses. You
feel trapped in the…yes I’ll say it, mundane day-to-day tasks that are a huge
part of administrating your operations.
Ducker not only makes the case, but gives you a guide
to the action steps that you can take today to get the help you need and get
back to focusing on the strategies and tactics that you can use to grow your
business. Instead of wishing for a magical clock to give you just a few extra
hours every day, Ducker clearly spells out exactly where to find that extra
time by utilizing a virtual staff.
He also makes the case for how easing back on the control
grip will not only allow you to refocus your business efforts, but also free
you up to have more of a life outside your business endeavors. While all entrepreneurs
believe that they know what’s best for their business, most bring some
limitations in skillsets to the process and Ducker offers a range of
suggestions where virtual staff can fill those skills deficits and you the business
owner will benefit by getting not only the time, but by ending up with a better
work product.
The yardstick I use to measure business books is really
based on how useful the action steps they offer are and how quickly I can put
them into operation; in the case of Virtual
Freedom, Ducker could not have made it any easier to get started today on
putting these plans in to play.
