Quick Tip: Don’t avoid buying software when it will save you time. I found a $150 piece of software that automates a task I was paying $1,000 per month to have someone else do.
I was having a remote assistant email people for interviews one at a time. I bought a piece of software that lets me merge to email which basically replaces that part of her job.
@Anonimo – Well you could hire someone to wash your car using Q-tips or you could use the car wash and do it yourself once every two weeks in a few minutes.
For me this shift led to taking a position I had outsourced to India and replacing it with an employee in the US.
