Small Business Operation: Founders must learn to do things by themselves. Even if takes years to develop the necessary skills. You need to be a jack of all trades to oversee each part of your venture. But do not fall into the trap of doing it all yourself. Hire a team you can rely on and assign each of them a task. Do not give one person more than one task—and ensure those tasks are completed quickly. As a startup founder, you will have three categories of workers you can assign tasks to: your in-house team, the partial outsource team, and the full outsource team.
