I’m titling this post “Before I was famous”, as I’m planning to be rich
and famous in my industry soon, and by then, I may have little time to
devote to blog posts.
Last night, I just hired my first fulltime project manager/VA to help
free up my time more and enable me to push forward in increasing
productivity and results for our current clients. At the same time, I
can actually start looking for new clients. Yes, that’s right, all the
current clients and the 350+ websites, 14,000+ domains have all been
referrals from existing clients or friends.
I am planning to add one more project manager in the short term, to form
the pyramid structure I’ve been wanting for my website management
business this year. With myself at the top, I need at least 2 project
managers to receive tasks from myself or direct from clients and be
responsible for the hiring and management of the multitude of freelance
contractors we hire from sites such as oDesk.
Until now, the pyramid has been too Isosceles and not equilateral
enough, with me directly assigning tasks to and managing up to 50
contractors across multiple freelance sites.
Starting with 2 project managers and getting core infrastructure in
place, should allow me to grow this business out of the current “chaos
mode” and into a much larger operation.
Time will tell if this structure can be effective for the business I want to grow. For now, back to work for me!
