Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out, understanding your options for how to get things done inside your business can make a world of difference in your journey.

Today, we're discussing a hot topic for us solopreneurs…. which is better... DIY (Do It Yourself) or DFY (Done For You) strategies in business creation.
DIY is all about rolling up your sleeves and doing the work yourself, from website design to marketing.

DFY involves outsourcing tasks to professional service providers who handle everything for you, from design to execution.

In this episode, I'll break down the pros and cons of each method and offer some tips on how to find the right combination for your business.
You'll learn:

  • why each of these approaches has strengths and weaknesses
  • how to choose when you should DIY and when to hire out a task
  • a quick exercise to clarify your own skill levels, strengths and weaknesses so you can easily navigate when it's time to ask for help

Whether you prefer to roll up your sleeves or you’re used to delegating tasks, keep in mind that success ultimately comes from making informed choices. This episode was designed to help you think through the cost in terms of not just money, but also time and quality.
