Tim Ferris, MJ, Biophase and JackEdwards (INSIDERS's call) are solely to blame for me spending my Saturday couped up in the house working on what I believe to be the beginning of a new phase in my life.
The only place I have been today is to the gym and back home to jump online researching the best way to go about this.
It has gotten so bad that I was posting on the forum, looking in my wholesaler's catalog, comparing prices with a competitors site, and listening to a tropicalmba podcast all at the same time.
I finally came to the conclusion that if I was really going to get this done in a timely fashion, and run my other business effectively, I need some help uploading over 1500 product images (which all have to be changed from TIFF to JPEG), copying descriptions and dimensions, typing in shipping details and getting this freaking thing up and moving.
I have read about how Virtual Assistants make situations like this so much less painful so I am biting the bullet and giving it a try. I went to guru.com and put in as much detail about what I need as possible, even got down to the specifics of what industry and Commerce store I am using in hopes that i get someone experienced in setting this type of store up.
I am employing this strategy in my healthcare business as well. I just hired an assistant to be my eyes and ears at my satellite healthcare office so that I can leverage my time better to get more accomplished.
If i find that the new website does not produce enough income within a reasonable amount of time to support a VA that will be the evidence that it's not profitable or i need to try a different strategy or just simply pull the plug and attempt a new niche. But for now...I am all in.
