When starting a new venture, is it best to outsource the things you can't do, or learn the skill yourself?
I've spent the majority of my life in construction and have little computer skills, beyond the usual that anyone with a laptop and half a brain can muster.
I have an idea for a website, that is more than just a usual storefront. This could include forums and also other things what I would assume to be quite technically hard for me to achieve.
Does it make sense to spend a year or so learning how to code/ setup a website, whilst also carrying on my day job (this is unavoidable). Or pay someone to help me set the website up? at what I would assume to be quite a high cost - with maybe no potential for a return on the investment!
What are peoples thoughts on outsourcing as apposed to learning new skills themselves?
