DUPLICATION - A Business Lesson Learned!

RawAlex · 2006-05-12, 05:02 PM

Meanwhile, back somewhat on topic...

I am okay with graphics and stuff, a bit of design but I am not a 100% top guy... so I have a couple of projects I am working on, a couple of ideas, so rather than lose a couple of days struggling to get the results I want and still missing by a bit, I have put two contracts out to people who have experience in what I am looking for.

I will be truly interested to see what the end results are if any.

I also redesigned one of my sites today to get more attention from a certain search eingine (not google, but google may enjoy the changes as well). Making those changes took some time, but I couldn't exactly sub that out to anyone, because it is about attempting to apply what I know to a situation... and much of that is feeling rather than hard and fast rules. So no way I can sub that out.

Knowing when you are over your head is a good thing...

Yeah for sure. The thing I stuggle with is sometimes you have to take so long to show someone what you need done you just would rather do it yourself. But if you add up all the times you do it yourself it's gotta be less than the showing. So the theory goes anyway... =]

Ever hire someone to work on a project just to find out that they were over their head?

Maybe my distrust for consultants come from me being one in my past life

Then our code of ethics forbid solicitation, which was a good thing because solicitation bred distrust in a professional relationship.

Off to whoop the staff into firing up their T1 connections to spam for a tidal wave of new business.

Think I will pop some corn also.
