My poor blog has been sadly neglected in recent months. I think it’s time to dust off the keyboard and start afresh.

The first term of this year has certainly been a busy one for me. I have taken on 2 new clients and have been getting used to new routines for myself, and my children. Juggling a business and motherhood (I’m a single parent) has its challenges at times, and I’m seriously thinking about taking on a permanent sub-contractor to help with some of my workload.

I find myself working nearly every evening of the week, and whilst I CAN do it – I’m thinking that perhaps I don’t WANT to.

I have someone in mind who I am hoping will take over some of my transcription duties. I will still need to check the work, but this will take a lot less time than actually typing everything as well. So I’m going to give it a go and will soon find out whether the reality of employing a sub-contractor meets my expectations. My main aim is to have more free time to enjoy life, rather than being a slave to my business.

How about you? Do you use sub-contractors to help with your business? I would love to hear your experiences.
