As an internet marketer it’s very tempting to try and do everything yourself. This is especially so in the early days when funds are tight and you simply don’t have the money to pay someone else to do stuff for you. But it’s easy for the workload from your internet business to completely spiral out of control… Writing articles, writing ebooks, answering customer emails, making blog posts, writing on forums, creating sales letters, graphics…. Doing all of these things takes up a considerable amount of time and effort; not to mention skill! Before you know where you are, you’re working 12 hour days and you are spending FAR more time working in front of the computer than you EVER did as an employee.

… and you thought starting an online business was the key to a better lifestyle, eh? Well it IS – but as your business grows you need to realize (and FAST) that you simply can’t do everything yourself. Just look at some of the biggest and most successful companies in the world. Do you think Richard Branson (founder of the Virgin Group) built his business by doing everything himself? Of course not! He realized very early on that in order to grow his business he needed to employ people to do lots of the day-to-day stuff.
