It can be difficult to know how much you can do on your own and how much you just have to bite the bullet and call in a professional for. I cannot even offer any sound advice to new business owners on the issue because every project has different risks and every entrepreneur different abilities. I just want to remind young entrepreneur's that engaging in do-it-yourself projects and experiments outside their skill set should be subjected to the same cost/benefit analyses as everything else, with allowances made for mistakes and the learning curve itself.

I couldn't agree more with this post. Starting my web design company, I found myself doing a LOT of things in the beginning that I will NOT do now, and as you said, they ALL took too much time away from my day which could have been used to do more productive things. I agree to cut corners where you can, but only if it doesn't cut more time than money. Nice post here. I couldn’t agree more with this post.
