Hello Everyone,
Read the book and I'm currently re-reading it because it was so good. It has really assured me that the best route to take is the one where you're running the show.
With that said, I seem to have a character flaw in my own entrepreneurial endeavors that is holding me back from getting started. Essentially, I am starting a Search Engine Marketing (SEM) business, but I am very slow to get going because I am insistent on doing everything myself.
This includes building my website, designing my logo, writing my copy, etc. I've been learning a lot in the process (Adobe Suite, web design), but I'm wondering if it's a better use of my time to simply outsource the work so I can get up and running.
Part of the reason I am trying to do all of this stuff myself is so I can have extra skills to possibly include as services I provide in the future. But would it be better if I simply outsource for now, and learned later?
I know that MJ himself spent countless hours learning programming languages so he could build his business' site, but I'm unsure about how to balance the time I spend learning and the time I spend getting my business launched. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Benji
P.S. I do plan on creating a passive income stream by writing how-to information as well, but this is further down the road.
