    To outsource tasks in all order to free up time to concentrate on our strengths. We have a new baby coming and we need to be creative, continue our excellent time management skills but above all outsource tasks that do not need to be done by Aye or I - will also help us to have a valuable insight into how another business dedicated to that task, gets things done- like a virtual assistant- sending newsletters, sending follow up emails, confirming appointments, sending info sheets on after care etc

    Changing direction slightly this next year going to aim for more commercial contracts. Got 1 big 1 in already that will take up about 10 hours a week.another in pipeline for a day a fortnight. With all my regulars not much more needed for me on my own but would like to start and employ someone and get maybe 2 more on the commercial side and do that with a part timer and do my residential work on my own for 2 days a week. Will have to see how it pans out.

    In answer to my question; better organisation, better contract/job costing and reviewing equipment needs.

    Also, I'm terrible at remembering the little things, I have eureka moments and try to make notes but easily forget them if not recorded promptly, so I picked up this blog from Richard Branson. Well worth reading and also following his Entreprenuer blogs

    Try not to say to myself "I'll do that later" because I don't! I'm going to try to do it there and then if I can.
