Is It Worth My Time

I did my website. The first one I did on Wix and I was so proud of what I created, and it took me a lot longer than it would have taken you, but then every time I added something or anytime, anything broke or anytime I wanted to fix something, it was not very user friendly, and it would take me hours on tech support.

To get to the right person that would figure out what I did wrong or what needed to be fixed, was not a good use of my time. You would have done it in like ten minutes, and I spent like five hours.

This is true. But there are also things like hiring a VA. I think a lot of us in the Business Diva's group right now is kind of in the same spot where do I do it myself because I know how, or do I hire a VA? Who I may have to train and teach how to do this? But ultimately, now if she does it or he does it, I have more time to do income-producing activities. A lot of us get stuck there.

Yes. So even, like, as you're getting ready for that, because I totally can relate and understand. Even before I was ready to hire somebody, I started writing down what I was doing. I was writing down how I wanted it done,
and how I was doing it. So I have training materials in advance for that person. So I started like, as I was doing things, I started my checklist.
This is what I'm gonna want you to do. What's important? So this served two purposes, right, where, one, it became your training materials for whoever you would teach in the future. But did it also help you realize
exactly how much time you were putting into whatever the project was and help you in your mind, figure out that maybe there's someone else better to do this? Yes. And it also helps when you're paying attention to the time because there were a couple of things that I didn't put time into it.
I just put the task and how I wanted it done. But when I started to pay attention to how much time, one is it really worth my time? Am I the one that should be doing that? But it's also the expectation so that when you do pass it off to somebody else and it takes them - however long it takes,
you know if that's taking them too long or, like, the right amount. Like, you know alright. If it took me two hours to do this, is it really a two-hour task, or is it just because it's not my zone of genius. I've been really good at noticing now.

What's my zone of genius? What are the things that I'm great at? Like, the things that really, I am the one to be doing it. The things that light me up
and the things that frustrate me. Like, when I had problems with my website on a Sunday, I had a co-working day with my friend. We like to get together and work together separately so that, And we could not for the life of us. And she's been on WordPress more than me, but I was so frustrated I'm screaming through the parking lot. This is not my zone of genius, and I sent an email, like, to somebody to help me. But it’s Sunday,
I wasn't expecting an immediate response, but this is not what I'm supposed to be doing. I could figure it out, but me spending twice as long
trying to figure it out and getting frustrated, I am very happy to say, Can you please do this for me? Update this page.
Do this.
