You have met people like me, maybe you are like me. I do it
in my business; others do it at home or in their club or organisation. They are
not just DIY people, they are DIAY people; Do It All Yourself!
This goes from fixing your own boiler, to cutting your own
hair, to writing your own CV, to doing the admin for the club you are in, to doing
the accounts for the local charity, to covering HR and stationary and IT and
admin in your business. Nothing wrong
with this until you come under scrutiny. The boiler breaks down and your fixing
costs you extra in parts and warranty, you miss a bit and your hair looks like
the front lawn, you get no answers to the CV’s you send out, you delete half
the membership of the club by accident, the Revenue audits the charity accounts
or you do a bit of everything in your business except getting new clients.
Then we cry out for the help of an expert, when the damage
is done. Here’s my point: ‘Everyone I meet knows more than me.’ By engaging the
services of an expert, I free up my time to do what I am best at and I save on
correcting the mistakes I make. Using experts saves time and money.
So next time you have a job to do at home, in your club or
organisation or in your business just ask yourself what the benefits would be
of getting an expert to do it and what the consequences would be of messing it
up. Then make up your mind.
I have, simply by giving me more time to do what I love and
by cutting out all the mistakes I have made, I give the thumbs up to using
experts both at home and in the business.
Have a great weekend J
