Cure You Outsourcing Phobia

Here at Business Hacks, we've mentioned the idea of outsourcing some of your drudge work to others before—and the sites like getfriday.com and yourmaninindia.com that can help you do it. But over at 43 folders, Ryan Norbauer goes into detail about getting rid of the mental blocks that prevent many people from taking this step

In particular, he takes down two of the major reasons more people don't hire personal assistants:

1) That's too high-falutin'

One of the reasons I've always recoiled at the notion of getting help from other people has to do with my simple desire not to be an ass. I've always been the sort of egalitarian-minded fellow who has trouble letting someone carry his bags at a hotel, not because I mind paying the tip but because who do I think I am--

It's capitalism. The people whom you're going to hire are your equals (no matter where they live or how much you're paying them,) and so long as you treat them that way, there's no reason to cringe at fully taking advantage of the labor which they are willingly proffering.

2) I'm the only one who can manage this task

I was so accustomed to the behavioral inertia of the busy-work like programming and answering support emails, that I never quite got around to focusing on that far more important [task]--This all took me admitting a harsh fact to myself. For most of our day-to-day operations, my company could get on just fine without me. I'm simply not that important.

Now that you know it's Kosher, what aspects of your work/lives would you most like to outsource?
