When you look back at some of your old ideas and site projects, from the standpoint of what you have learned thus far, you often question, "Should I scrap it or just redesign it?"

Whoa! Stop being so cavalier! Don't be so wasteful. There's probably a lot that's good going on too, so reorganization is most likely the best idea, especially if you've invested much time and work. If it is crap, then let it go, or ignore it as a sampler.

I've discovered that I pay full attention to some elements of the niche/ site, and neglect the rest.  That's usually more out of ignorance than laziness. In order to build a big success, you have to keep all the plates spinning at once. With Google changes, SEO,  new trends on the horizon, and God knows what else, it is EXHAUSTING! The "learning process" alone absorbs your time and attention. That's before you have "taken action" and applied what you have learned thus far. (Very important new newbies.)

The thing about IM is that you can work 24 hours a day and still need more time in order to accomplish everything you want to accomplish. So what do you do? It's a challenge.

Do you remember when you started in this business, the guru cognoscente said you can do this in 2 hours a day, then ride around in your Porsche the rest of the day? HAH!!!

Can anybody who is truly successful do what has to be done in 2 hours a day? What is successful anyway? I guess if you keep breathing, you're successful.

We throw that "S" word around, but it's all relative.

Would be very interested in hearing your take on all this. How much of a role does outsourcing play in your success? How many hours do you personally invest in a day, a week, a month? Is there a strategy that works best to save time and also reach your goals? At what point do shortcuts diminish the quality of your offering?

What are your secrets to getting a lot done when you have a staff of "1"?
