If these are your own set of actions, I applaude you. I have to admit that i am reticent to delegate a lot of our business. We do tremendously well with what we do and I am so afraid that total delegation could screw things up. Perhaps our business' are a little different; ours is very personal. A lot of face to face. While I love to share the knowledge I have, our punters often like to deal directly with me. I try to get around this by always taking a couple of very reliable partners with me to enable them to gain the confidence of our punters. The business is after all just as much, and often more, theirs as mine. India? Nah I'll keep it at home as good as the technology is there. Business is more than code crunching. You need to add value and benefits to the doing of business. Thanks for you article. The Baldchemist Alex. If these are your own set of actions, I applaude you.

I can not tell you how frustrating it was for me to be taking customer support calls while I was trying to run the company. Our points of contacts were disorganized, so we got a virtual PBX system by Gotvmail which gave us a central 800 number, extensions, and an advanced voicemail greeting to direct traffic to the proper channels. You'd be amazed at the difference good communications infrastructure makes.
