Do you have a filter on what you choose to put onto your to do list? Do you find yourself bogged down by tasks that suck your energy? You need these 3 Secrets on how to make sure you are only doing what you love and making money doing it.
As promised, in order to be more aligned with the Law of Least Effort, we need to be doing more tasks that don’t feel like work to us.
Often Entrepreneurs feel like they are the only ones that can do a certain task perfectly.Or you don’t think you can afford to hire someone else to do the work for you. Perhaps it is because we like to control every aspect of our business and life.
Does this sound like you? Believe me, this was me not too long ago too. But, by doing that, you end up wasting your time…. firstly on stuff you aren’t passionate about and secondly you are taking away from growing your business to make more money.
3 secrets on how to make sure you are only doing what you love is to have 3 filters. Every task that you have, from your home to your business should go through these 3 filters. If you answer yes to all 3 then you should put it on your to do list…
1.Do you love doing it?
2.Are you good at doing it?
3.Do your clients love you doing this to, with, or for them and they show you this by paying you HANDSOMELY for it!
By going through this filter, you will be amazed at how many things you clear off your plate and to do lists. It might be easier for you to see it in numbers:
Say you pay someone to do 5 hours of work you don’t like to do… you pay them $25/hour to do this work for you. For this scenario to make the numbers easy, say you bill $125/hour (don’t like the hourly business model…but for this post we will use it)
The way you can grow your business doing what you love, is to make sure you trade the 5 hours of work you don’t like doing for doing 5 hours of income producing work. (Income Producing is the key!)
1 hour for working on your business that will provide you income(doing stuff you like)
2 hours on Marketing your business to get more business to attract another 2 more hours of income
1 hour of work you attracted from the 2 hours of marketing that you did(that you get paid $125/hour) to pay for your 5 hours to hire the person to do the work you don’t like.
1 hour doing the work from the 2hours of marketing that you did.
5 hours total doing only work you love and attracting another hour of work into your business.
Read the numbers again if you didn’t get it the first time. Entrepreneurs that are able to let go of tasks that are not a part of their passion and true brilliance will make more money doing what they love.

Thanks Shauna! That’s the best explanation I’ve heard around VAs. I’ve got one and now that I have more time, I want to be using it most effectively and profitably!
VAs are the BEST! Especially since many of them actually LOVE doing the work I don’t really like doing. So it is a win-win for everyone. The key, like you said, is using the extra time more effectively and profitably!
