This starts to get to the heart of the fog and confusion I some times feel is standing in the way of reaching my goals. Not to mention perfectionism which certainly does not help. LOL!!

It was one of those mom moments that I'll never forget! Literally in that moment, his mind went from "How can I get out of doing work to go hang out with my friends" to "What can I do to earn some money?" And I'm going to leverage his realization in my business! He's always helped out some... but this summer, he'll have an actual daily schedule and a job description that will be tailored to his skills. I think it's great that your son will be both learning and doing in your business. I think it's one of the greatest gifts we can give our kids! -Lisa Hi Donna,

Years ago, I said to my husband, "I think I need a wife!" We both laughed, but in truth, some of the things that I have outsourced have to do with common household chores that I just don't have time to keep up with. Here's what I outsource: House cleaning, grocery shopping, some simple food prep work (I still like to do my own cooking) laundry, cleaning the pool, mowing the yard (2 acres!) closet and drawers organization from time to time. Spring cleaning - stuff I only do about twice a year. I work at home, so I'm always around to supervise or answer questions. Now, I'm starting to think about some of the administrative things for my businesses...you've got my wheels turning. Thanks, Lisa! I've enjoyed our time together these past 90 days and I hope we'll continue to be in touch even after this class is over. You have been such a big help and source of information and inspiration.

However, he just turned 16 & is now driving, which will free me from many hours of Mom's Taxi duty. It also makes him realize a bit of income would be handy for gas & golf. So I am laying out the case for him to 1) help me with the audio & video side of my operation, which he can also use for his rock band productions and 2) we plan to launch a website for teens, teachers and parents, which he can use both to learn the business (and help me when needed), develop as a value-added service that will also look good on his college resume, and would allow legitimate access to many cool people and reasons to do more fun things with his buddies. Not a direct route to outsourcing but starting, literally, close to home. Lisa,
