I'm trying to outsource some tasks myself--mostly home repair--but I'm running into quality problems. I end up with a result that is not up to my standards, and it feels like I have to spend overly much time vetting people or dealing with tha back and forth about quality issues, etc. If I'm paying good money to get a task done, I don't want it to take up my time. If it does, I feel like I might as well have done it myself.
I'm working on changing this mindset but it's proving difficult.
