Matt – Some wise insights about scarcity thinking and value of time.

With outsourcing it is hard to find people who truly understand the value of links. I get approached by people and companies wanting me to outsource work to them. Prices are good, yet the quality is not there. Nor is the understanding of conceptual relationships.

Since I take more of a marketing approach to link development it is key they be fluent in English and understanding of Western culture. Although I maybe expanding into the Spanish/Latin market soon.

As time goes on link development will only gets harder and harder. Even six months ago it was easier than today.

Our problem is outsourcing link building these days for under a grand or two per month with any semblance of quality is tough. I’m not expecting much, but I’m getting less. If anyone knows some good low-end ones for sourced client work… but don’t email me w/ broken English (like if you’re not Justilien or a regular reader).

About outsourcing – some things I’m a bit shy about letting go. I’d say link development might be one of them. I’ll have to check out “Freedom Business Principles” – it looks worthwhile.

Big fan of some of the principles Tim Ferriss talked about in “Four Hour Workweek.”

I would also recommend “The E-Myth Revisited”. It could benefit any business. Yet something tells me you have already read it. :)

My time is so valuable that I’m better off finding others doing certain tasks for me while I focus on more important tasks.

One of the principles Tim Ferriss’ “Four Hour Workweek” and Brausch’s “Freedom Business System” had taught me.
