Show Notes
When you first start your business, you’re doing everything alone, so it goes without saying that you have to learn how to launch alone at the very early stages.
And that means you’re learning what to do, how to do it and trying to figure out WHEN to do it…
This can be fun for a period of time when you’re getting your feet wet, figuring out what your business is, who you serve, and what ideas get brought to those people. It can be kind of fun even.
You may even find yourself daydreaming and wondering when you’ll get to the point when you can finally get help.

And it doesn’t help knowing everyone’s always talking about the benefit of outsourcing, building a good team and nurturing them as you grow your company (me included by the way).
