“I can’t find the right people” “I’ll just do it myself” “Nobody cares about my business as much as I do” As a founder, it feels easier to do things yourself. I get it. For many years I was scared to death about giving up control. I wanted to be the best at everything in my business. Sales, marketing, operations,
