Developing the Outsourcing Mindset

In Kathy Dobson’s Blog – Dedicated to Freedom you’ll find out that Outsourcing has become an essential key in achieving business goals that even small businesses and entrepreneurs are looking into developing an outsourcing mindset. Kathy Dobson is a free spirited business owner and entrepreneur dedicated to helping others achieve financial and personal freedom through Internet marketing with an emphasis on outsourcing to grow their business. She provides quality resources and ideas about marketing online and currently, she’s enrolled in Tyron’s Mass Outsource Mastermind course where she’s learning a great deal about outsourcing particularly to the Philippines.
Kathy Dobson’s article about Mass Outsource MasterMind Modules One and Two centers on Developing the Outsourcing Mindset where one learns about the 80/20 rule. This 80/20 rule means that 80% of your outcomes come from 20% of your inputs. In simpler terms, 20% of your activities produce 80% of your rewards.
Some highly realistic examples that were mentioned in her article about the 80/20 rule includes building networking relationships through Skype, e-mail, newsletters and creating videos which can be a useful means for your readers to see value in your principles and ideas.
Another principle that I’ve learned from her article is the acronym D-E-A-L which stands for D – Definition, E – Elimination, A – Automation and L – Liberation. Definition simply means defining what you want to happen after the whole outsourcing course. You need to know what you want to achieve in your business. Elimination involves the 80/20 principle where you eliminate the things that are not lucrative in your life. You need to focus on what’s productive in order to achieve a highly lucrative outcome. Automation talks about keeping things in order by setting up a project management system. Lastly, Liberation is what you’ll get after you’ve finally set things into perspective. Outsourcing provides you freedom knowing that you have a trusted virtual staff that will manage your business for you.
Kathy Dobson provides very useful information that will certainly help any novice learn about outsourcing. I highly recommend for you to subscribe to her blog to get free and useful information as well as updates about outsourcing.
Why Outsourcing is great for Filipinos?

Outsourcing to the Philippines
Outsourcing is great for Filipinos because not only do we get more job opportunities but it allows more flexibility to manage our time to our advantage instead of the other way around.
I for one am a believer of outsourcing and am happy to say that most outsourcers, usually employers from other countries like the United States, are looking at the Philippines as a great location to outsource their tasks. People from all over the world such as entrepreneurs, free lance website owners among others rely on outsourcing as a means of achieving end results at a more affordable rate without having to risk the quality of the work that needs to be done.
One may ask how you can be outsourced. It is done simply by getting yourself registered to websites that highlight jobs posted from employers who’re out of the country. All you have to do is sign-up then create your profile. Keep in mind that trust and integrity is an important factor in this business so you need to post your qualifications as honestly as possible.
When you decide to try your luck in outsourcing, I suggest for you to learn more about what outsourcing is all about. There are perhaps thousands of websites dedicated to outsourcing.
I like Kathy Dobson’s blog that’s dedicated to freedom since it’s a great source of knowledge about outsourcing to the Philippines. Kathy Dobson is actually business owner and entrepreneur dedicated to helping others achieve financial and personal freedom through Internet
marketing with an emphasis on outsourcing to grow their business. She highly believes in taking control of one’s life through freedom and outsourcing is basically a great way of achieving this. Once you visit her site, you will notice how comprehensive yet specific her posts can be.

How Not to Lose Your Job
Jobs nowadays are really hard to find and keep. If you have a job, we still have this sense of fear and insecurity that one of these days we just might get sacked for no reason or for reasons such as lack of funds or cost cutting. This is the one of the facts we are faced every day since the demand for jobs is just too high compared to vacancies.
I also fear of losing my job. Though, working in a competitive environment really gives us a sense of satisfaction but this is not really the job I want to end up with. But despite this fact, I still want to keep this job due to obvious financial demands.
Doing our day to day deliverables is not just enough anymore. We need to develop creativity in determining improvements that can really help our company’s productivity to get noticed.
This article by Ariane de Bonvoisin and John Kilcullen equips us with ideas that can help us get the edge we need to survive in the corporate world (source: jobs.aol.com).
1. Remember: It’s Not About You Right Now
Force yourself to focus with laser accuracy on your company’s success, not your own. In challenging times, the last thing your employer wants is to cater to you and your fears. They want you to be a selfless, highly collaborative team player who meets and exceeds your commitments. Your presence can’t be an energy drain or create work.
2. Become a Black Belt at Change
The most important skill to develop right now is finesse at navigating change. That means flexibility and open-mindedness. Accept whatever management throws your way. If they change direction (again), shuffle the product mix, add new goals, or refine strategy on the fly, say yes to all of it. Resisting change only makes life more difficult for management and for everyone.
This also applies to those things you took for granted. Accept that your expense budget and staff have been cut. Accept that you now have more work on your plate with the same (or fewer) resources than you had a year ago.
3. Everything Is Your Job
Demonstrate your commitment to the overall success of your team and your company by taking on tasks that fall outside your job responsibilities. Pitch in on packing up the trade-show booth. Manage your own schedule/address book/travel plans. Offer to take notes and follow up after every meeting.
Nothing is beneath you. The little things you do above and beyond your job description will serve you well when it’s performance appraisal and/or downsizing time. Forget your fancy title, your impressive résumé-and your ego.
4. Walk Away from the Water Cooler
When straits are dire and headlines scary, the last thing your company needs is negative, gossipy employees who polarize colleagues into an us-vs.-them dynamic. Employers value passionate overachievers whose uplifting attitude contributes to a more energizing team culture. Whatever it takes, keep the negative mindset out of the office. This is your mantra: No complaining, no blaming! Dwell on what can be rather than what can’t.
5. “Unwritten Rules” Are Now Engraved in Stone
Show up early, stay late. Everyone notices people who leave on the dot of 5 (or before) or take very long lunches or excessive coffee/smoking breaks. Don’t get a reputation for being one of those people who takes forever to respond to an e-mail, voicemail, or a simple question. Vigilantly follow up on all assigned action items. Management is increasingly scrutinizing your every move.
6. Step Up-and Wear Very Big Shoes
Don’t wait for someone else to solve your problems. Your manager needs to hear how the organization can trim costs, manage the supply chain better, find a new client, improve processes, motivate the workforce, and deliver the next big thing.
Observe what your competitors are trying and testing, read everything relentlessly, and ask people how you can improve what you do.
Your goal here is to make sure there’d be a gaping hole if you were no longer around. Make the choice every day to do work that really matters to the success of the team and the company. Put yourself in a position that is crucial to the success of a new initiative, or dig in to solve a vexing, long-neglected problem. Maintain a bias for action in every meeting.
7. Transparency Is Your New Trump Card
You must be totally transparent as to what you’re working on and how it fits with management objectives. There can be no hiding, and no withholding information. If you don’t have enough on your plate, say it. Ask to take on more-or better yet, suggest projects you can spearhead that have killer ROI.
The more honest your superiors believe you are, the more likely they are to trust you and keep you close. Being authentic builds relationships, even more than just hard work. Stop hoping no one finds out who you are or what you really do all day. Let people in…or they’ll be showing you the door. Employers are likely to keep you around if they see you as a vital associate.
8. Make Friends in New Places
Human resources and finance are two departments that can have a significant impact on your career whether you realize it or not. They know a lot about you that can influence how you’re perceived. Respect those folks, socialize with them, ask for their advice, and make sure you carefully do a little self-promotion. When cuts need to be made, you won’t be an unknown quantity to them.
9. Start Tweeting or Start Packing
Look at the Millennials and see how they work, how they make decisions, and what technology and tools they use. No time for “I don’t do Twitter or Facebook.” Acquaint yourself with social networks, mobile applications, and commerce platforms to remain relevant. Let them intimidate you and you give your boss reasons to replace you with someone younger and more in the game. Ask a family member to help, take a course, read a book…and dive in.
10. Fit Club
Healthy people tend to have better outlooks and are easier to be around. They take good care of themselves, which in turn earns them the respect of others. Fit people often set high standards for themselves both at work and at play. And they just have more stamina, so they tend not to get tired when on deadline, and they don’t call in sick as much. They have incredible endurance when others are reaching for that 10th Coke (KO) or itching to make that next trip to Starbucks (SBUX). They are also calmer and more productive. So get your sleep, eat well, exercise, stay hydrated, and avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol. This is an investment that will pay dividends for you and your employer. And yes, your employer does notice.
Rate yourself. Which of these 10 areas are you excelling in, which are you doing O.K. in, and where do you need to change your behavior? The truth hurts, doesn’t it? But take the steps to make sure that it’s your career that gets rolling, rather than your head.
