Starting a small business has been eye-opening—especially how much time goes into things like inventory and customer engagement. I’m curious, for those running their own business, how do you decide what to handle yourself versus outsourcing? Any tips for finding the right balance without blowing the budget?

Starting a biz is a whole vibe, huh? Personally, I’d say do as much as you can at first, just to learn the ropes. But when it comes to things like accounting or marketing, I’d say outsource those ASAP, unless you love spreadsheets and ads. It’s all about figuring out where your time is best spent and where you can get some help without breaking the bank

Starting out is wild! I’d say, for now, handle the big stuff—like customer service, product/service creation, and outsource the smaller tasks (bookkeeping, social media, etc.). Use freelancers or platforms like Upwork to get help without burning a hole in your wallet. You gotta figure out what’s essential for you and what you can let go of, little by little!
