I seem to run into this problem regardless the idea. I'm a creative type person and have countless of business ideas that I come across. I can plan them out to the letter, have a good work ethic and dedication to succeed. My problem is i'm not the sales type person. I've always heard, if you don't know how to do something, hire someone who does. There are some things that can pertain to, but there are others where you can learn that skill yourself and save yourself the headache. I'm a big proponent of learning it yourself, knowledge is power, we all know that. But when it comes to sales, I have no idea, and honestly feel like I don't want to. Is this something everyone has? Or all you guys that have been successful with something other than real estate, have you sold yourself, or had someone else sell your product for you? I like being the guy behind the scenes that runs the show, not the guy who gets all the face time.

Ehh, that was some random thoughts. Let me know if you don't get what I'm asking. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Nathan
