Bartering for time…

Posted on August 11, 2007 by transitionchick

Outsourcing & bartering aren’t just for the solopreneur.  Baby-sitting is outsourcing.  The dry cleaners is an outsource circumstance-you’re not dry cleaning your shirts yourself, right?
I coach midlife boomer women on how to balance work & life-Home, friends, other things they want to do…
could be a new job or career, but, just balance is needed, too.  I can’t sell them some extra hours! 🙂  But, I can help set intentions/goals and move toward life/work balance.

But, we can brainstorm ways to FR*ee up some time…
in no particular order…
1.If you work at home & have small children-have a neighbor who also works from home with kids watch all one day-so you get chance to run errands, see clients, network or take a bubble bath!

2.Trade your PC knowledge for help with lawn care, cooking dinners,-the sky’s the limit!  Technology know-how is commendable & tradeable!

So, outsourcing doesn’t need to only be for businesses!
Be creative!  What could you barter/outsource?

In Abundance!

About transitionchick

Having literally reinvented her career (and redefined her goals and herself) many times over, Marcia Merrill has definitely earned the title of being known as the Transitions Chick! Before she answered her true calling, namely coaching, she was a Staff Analyst for a consulting company; a Resource librarian; and taught English, Spanish composition, and English as a second language in all levels of schools, from elementary through to doing substitute teaching during her graduate schooling. Her fervent desire to continually learn and explore different avenues led her to obtain two Masters degrees, the first in Bilingual/Bicultural Education and Instructional Systems Development from the University of Maryland, and the second in Counseling Psychology from Loyola College, Maryland. Marcia draws upon not only her solid academic background and her 25+ years as a Career Counselor/Coach, but also her own personal transitions that she has weathered and emerged from victoriously. She definitely ‘walks the walk and talks the talk’ and her primary objective is to help women achieve the level of contentment and success they desire from their life and their career or business. Whether it’s transitioning from an entry level position to an executive manager, changing jobs to realize their hopes and dreams, to learning how to cope with the setbacks that life in general sometimes throws at us, Marcia always applies her caring and creative problem-solving skills to her clients. Her mission statement, “Fall in love with your LIFE & your work (and in that order!)” shows how Marcia prioritizes her life, and her clients easily achieve the same balance in their lives from her superb coaching skills.

    Hi Marcia: Great post. So many women are overwhelmed &/or are just doing their work (career & unpaid) with no quality time for themselves. I find many women don’t seem to realize they have a right to it. This could help if money is an issue.
    Thanks. I’ll put you on my blogroll.
