Money Ning has an article today titled “19 Ways Laziness is Costing You Money.” If you take a look, you’ll see how disorganization and procrastination can really reduce your income and affect your savings.
Unnecessary expenditures, such as late fees, can really hurt a business’s bottom line these days. A healthy cash flow is even more important since credit remains tough to come by.
For those who keep letting money seep away from them despite the best of intentions, there are a number of ways that a personal assistant or business assistant can help.
Perhaps all you need is one email reminder each week about what’s due and what’s coming up. For the truly sidetracked, outsourcing all accounts payable functions may actually prove cost-effective.
Of course, tasking someone else to stay on hold with the cable or credit card company is an easy one to make. Let your assistant get you a changed rate or another tier of service. Paying a monthly fee for something you don’t use is like paying a full-time employee to surf the internet.
Times are tough. Make sure each cent you spend is out there working hard for you.

I recently found and completely agree with How’s your hive buzzing? from Mann Made Blog. The article equates a business owner with a Queen Bee, the head of the hive.
The theme is about opportunity cost, but the analogy makes it easy to understand. Give up the tasks that others can do for you so you can focus on the things that only you can accomplish.

Organized people have more money.
Perhaps this is not the case overall, but organization certainly brings an individual more money than he or she would have otherwise. These households do not buy that unnecessary third box of baking soda. These families do not overlook a choice tax deduction. These people know what is the best deal on higher priced items.
A personal assistant can help your life become more organized. When you know what you have, you’ll have a better idea of what you need. Your money situation becomes clearer and the amount of waste lessens.
A good, professional personal assistant can even help you figure out the cost effectiveness of his or her services.
