And I agree that it is important to at least have some knowledge of the tasks that you are outsourcing. A problem I have also found with outsourcing is quality of work. Some things are best done yourself. I just started reading your blog - am enjoying it. Thanks Juliet Hi

A lot of those outsource-able tasks actually give my brain a welcome break. You can't be creating *all* the time. Ahhhh, thanks for this — I’ll quit worrying about the Outsource Police.

Also, I think it's wise for business owners to know what's involved in tasks like bookkeeping, blog updating, article posting before they turn those activities over to someone else. They'll have an idea of how long it should take and will be able to recognize whether or not they're getting the desired results from the "helper." Additionally, I think it's NEVER wise for business owners to totally remove themselves from financial tasks. I'm not saying not to get professional help, but you have to understand that ultimately, it's your (legally) responsibility. You absolutely must understand what the numbers mean to run your company effectively. I totally agree with your suggestion about hiring “consulting help.”
