Every business large or small has limits on the resources available to it. Outsourcing permits a business to redirect valuable resources, from non core activities toward activities which serve the customer. Energies that are currently focused internally can now be focused externally – on the customer, which in turn increases revenue.

Is "fear" holding back small business owners' from taking steps to improve their business?
John Walters taps into the pulse of the small business community, and seeks your feedback to assess the current environment.
In speaking with small business owners, it occurs to me that they are feeling more than a little battered and bruised: the markets are down; 401K’s where they exist are in decline, and significant equity in their homes has been wiped out.
Employment statistics are not encouraging, consumer confidence is low, and at the same time owners are reading about how the government is helping small businesses, but they are not realizing the benefits.
Fearful that returns may not materialize, and with siege mentality, business owners are reluctant to invest money, even when the returns look to be attractive. In essence, they appear to be paralyzed from taking actions to improve their business.
“Cash is King” and owners are keen to hold on to what they have.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Please share your thoughts on the above.
