When You Do Things Without Advisors...

Show Summary:In this episode, I share the story of my four-year-old son getting an Operation game piece stuck up his nose and the lesson that came from it: sometimes you need a specialist. The same is true in business. Trying to handle everything yourself can cost you time, money, and a lot of unnecessary frustration.Takeaways:• Successful business owners don't try to become experts at everything.• A CPA, attorney, insurance broker, and business coach can provide a strong foundation for your business.• Bankers, SBDC counselors, SCORE counselors, and other advisors can also be valuable resources.• Free advice can be helpful, but paying for expertise often creates more accountability.• Knowing when to outsource is an important business skill.Action For You To Take:Identify one area of your business where you're trying to do something yourself that an expert should probably handle.
