If you have been following me, you might know that I am writing my failure stories and the lessons I learned out of it.

So its story time.

You cannot be everything in entrepreneurship.png

When I was trying to grow as an online entrepreneur, I did a mistake, which was to do everything by myself. I tried to be a writer, developer, SEO expert and what not. Things which I would not know, I would research it for days and learn it (I am smart actually :p) but the problem is. We should not do this.

Yes I understand it’s about money as well, if you outsource, you have to spend. My reason of doing this was the same; I was thinking that actually I am saving money by doing everything myself. But I was exhausting it was way too overwhelming and in the long run it did not save me money, for example I had developed a website where I did some tweaks and changes in Coding (I am not a coder) but Google is the final destination to learn anything.

But what happened, after a couple months, my website was hacked by a hacker, and for a good 3 to 4 days it was redirecting my site to a porn site. Imagine what would have happened to my reputation. So I asked my friend who is professional developer and he had to spend good amount of time before things could recover. I could not recover everything but somehow things started working.

So, Read a book “4 hours work week” to be honest it’s not practical but it will teach you good lessons about life, you do not have to be everything, and spend a few bucks will save you good money in future.

it sure is a good advice but as you said in the beginning its difficult to outsource and it is also difficult to "beg" people to be part of the team for free.

Yes true, So what i did in the beginning was i outsourced myself on what i was good at, "SEO" and spent that money one other things :)
