See ya later, calculator
See ya later calculator is just my funny way of saying “check your numbers”. I’m not a mathematician, but when it comes to building business better and changing moods, I love math. Pure numbers can be your dependable guide, and this was so true in a conversation I had with a client of mine today. He’s been looking into hiring a new member to his team, but he’s been reluctant to hand over some of his daily tasks and pay someone else to do them.
So, I said, “Count the money. Focus on the income you plan to make over the next year. And think about how you could get there more efficiently if you focus on the $300 an hour tasks and let someone else focus on the $10 an hour tasks.” Those high dollar tasks are the ones only YOU, the business owner, can do. They’re the ones where you’re working ON your business, not IN it. I know I emphasize that point a lot, but it’s because that’s how you scale things up.
Say “see ya later” to the day-to-day busy-ness things you’ve been doing.
Those don’t help you build business better. They just keep you wrapped up and strapped down. Why not hire someone who’s better equipped and has the skill set for office work? They’ll probably be much better at it than you. And you’ll be much better at what you’re much better at. Get it? Good.
When you break out the calculator and run a few numbers, it’s amazing how much better you can feel. And that’s what happened with my client.
He did the math and saw how numbers don’t lie. They showed him how he basically couldn’t afford NOT to hire someone. And he told me it was the best thing he’s done.
That’s not only a mood changer, it’s a game changer.
Have you checked your numbers lately? I think you’ll see how they help you…
