As soon as you can afford it, start to outsource. Not only will this free up time for more important business development tasks but by bringing in an expert (for graphic work, web design, copywriting, etc), you end up with a better presentation/product. Ideally you want subcontractors (or employees) working in the business while you work ON the business.

I love the new look Doug! This is so true…even as an “outsourcee” I’ve found it so much easier to outsource to others when I need to.
Thanks Courtney! Sorry it took me a while to moderate your comment. I was traveling and had trouble logging in on my Blackberry
Glad you like the new look!
Now, how about sharing some of your own outsourcing , PLR, etc. wisdom with us? Would love to see some tip contributions from you!
Thanks,
Doug
One thing to add, Rob — (and Doug), the first things to outsource are the things you a) hate to do, b) don’t do well, and c) don’t know how to do. And as you outsource, get your resources to teach you. The more you know about what they’re doing, the better you’ll be able to work with them. You won’t be asking them to perform the impossible, and you won’t have unrealistic expectations.
Speaking of which, Doug, have you gotten me my 1,000,000 new clients yet?
