It is always good to do your things personally. When you handle your works by yourself, you can ensure that the thing is done properly and in time. You also can take care of the fact that all the resources you put into used for the purpose are made best use of and nothing is wasted. Thus, you get not only the expected result but also get the thing done in a cost-effective manner.
In the same way, if you want to start your own off-shore company, you can personally take the responsibility of company formation. You can make research and gather information on how to start a company. Then apply it accordingly and get the desired company formed. However, sometimes in other things you consider the alternative, i.e. getting it done by someone else. And you see genuine reasons behind it.
After making comparison between the two options, if you find that getting the things done by others make sense as it remains profitable and gives you freedom from hassles; you prefer to go for that. In case of company formation, you can also consider the alternative. If you find it favourable, you can go for it. If you see that handling the process by yourself remains better then you can take care of it personally.
The process of company formation has a process. You have to provide the authority (in this case it is the Companies House) with certain documents. You have to collect some forms, fill them up and then submit them to the House along with other necessary testimonials. The whole process is somehow lengthy and it takes a lot of time and a fair amount of money to accomplish fully. In compared to this, giving the responsibility of company formation to an agent remains a better choice. It will cost you some money but you will be free from facing so many hassles.
That kind of know-it-all response is close-minded and dismissive. It's a mindset mistake that actually prevents us from making successful and empowering choices in our lives and work. And it has to stop sometime, because it's not helping you.
So give a listen one more time - it might sink in better than it ever has before.
If everyone tells us to slow down and take a break, why do we always ignore the advice? Because we don't have the time to stop - but we never do, and we never will, unless we make the time.
It's a vicious circle, and as a side note, it gets compounded by the fact that we never stop to celebrate the things we *have* achieved. We never get the sense of accomplishment because we're to busy to stop and get it, which means we never feel like we've done enough, and so we have to keep going and work harder and not stop, and so on until we retire.
Here's the counter-intuitive truth: Slowing down actually makes you more productive. When you work yourself silly, you don't give yourself a chance to recharge your body, your mind, or even your emotional batteries. And do you think you're a smooth-running executive engine when you're running on fumes? Of course not.
Besides, life's only going to get faster. If you're thinking about a job change right now - if you've already started the process with a headhunter or a recruiter, written your resume, sent it out by hand or with a distribution service - then now's a fabulous time to take a breather.
It's especially important for you as an executive or manager to break the workaholic habit. If you're setting up unrealistic expectations for yourself, you're also setting your subordinates up for failure - they'll try to model your work habits, and they'll melt down faster than you will. And don't forget the old saw - if you're working too hard, then maybe you're not delegating very well.
Do yourself - and everyone around you - a great favor, and break the habit now, before you get the next executive position. Set yourself up for success.
