Partnering Up vs. Outsourcing vs. Solopreneurship

[Jessica J]

I'm not sure if this is a stupid question...but f*ck it I'm tired of asking MYSELF in the confines of my head with no answers.

I've been trudging along getting my business up and running and the more progress I make, the more I realize everything I don't know yet, and the more TIME I spend teaching myself techie things...

Then by the end of the day I'm burnt out from all the reading, learning, and youtube-video-watching with no concrete results to show for it.

I keep hearing that "You can't do it alone PARTNER UP!" and on the other end I ALSO hear, "Whatever you do DON'T partner up just outsource like a mother f*cker!"

I think back to MJ in the book where he spent night teaching himself everything he needed to know in his Arizona apartment and I wonder, "OK...so I'm pretty sure I'm just supposed to lone-wolf this shit until I know it all and can THEN outsource..."

In sum...

Mentor 1: STOP DOING ALL THAT SHIT YOURSELF! Find a partner that can do all the things you can't!

Mentor 2: Do NOT partner up! It's YOUR business and you'll always butt heads! Just go on Odesk and outsource everything besides content creation.

Mentor 3: You need to learn to do all of that yourself FIRST. And it's gonna suck and you're gonna hate it...and then you're gonna know exactly how the system functions so you can EVENTUALLY outsource all that shit.

Thoughts??
