“I would say, as soon as you can – outsource every aspect you don’t like doing. At the beginning, it’s good to do all of it, so you understand it. But once you get to that point where it’s slowing you down from the rest of your business or rest of your objectives, find someone else to handle that piece for you and just continue to focus on the piece that’s best for you”
