Nearly 12 months ago I took the Kolbe Test; it’s a Psychometric type test. If you’ve never completed one of these tests I suggest you invest the $40 or so, I certainly found it money well spent. Every test I’ve done and my partner has done has been very accurate)

The Kolbe test helped me identify my strengths

My strengths are

• Analysing Options

• Creating Strategies

• Allocating Resources

The problem that I had been coming up against was that I was really bad, rubbish in fact at finishing jobs off. I was always coming up with great ideas and strategies but very rarely executed on them.

The cynics might say did you really need a test to tell you that you struggled to get projects completed and the answer would be a definite

‘No, I am well aware!’

However, the value for me was in identifying my strengths and having them articulated concisely in 3 bullet points.

I looked at the list and allocating resources, said to me getting outsourcers to do the work. That was one of the turning points for me in really getting focused on building Outsource Success as a business, primarily to help support me in my entrepreneurial endeavours.

What are your strengths and weaknesses and how can using outsourcers fill in the gaps for you?
