I don't think this applies to starting companies. You're probably already some sort of expert in the field you're starting up in (otherwise you've really got the deck stacked against you). Sure, there's some overhead in learning how to do all the other things, admin, hiring, selling etc., but it's not something you become an expert in.
- swombat 15y agoWell, no, you're not an expert in the field of running businesses - and that's the expertise we're talking about. Running a, say, engineering business, is a very different skill set than being an engineer that works in an engineering business. Many people are experts at the latter and totally clueless at the former.
