Today’s audio diary is called When Starting A Business, Do It Yourself.

So you heard that right. Now you know me, and I’m a big fan of delegating or duplicating or ditching the entire project. But when you start a business, you need to know how to do each job yourself. For example, when you start an online business, you need to know how to deploy emails. Because now when you understand how to do something, you will be able to write a better job description; you’ll be able to train your employees; and you will know when someone is doing an excellent job or not.

And when you’re starting a business when doing things yourself, you really get a feel of how much someone can handle. So maybe you don’t need to hire four people, maybe you need to hire only two people because you understand the particular tasks that are involved.

So make sure you are doing it yourself to start.
