I’ve heard this called “doing uncomfortable work” (by Michael Brody-Waite in Great Leaders Live Like Drug Addicts) and was the thesis of starting project (https://24HourHomePage.com, more in that thesis here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v8WFZ4b7s4Y)

Maybe its because i haven’t gotten to a place where i hate any one type of work. I recognize that i’m unskilled at it and there is probably some learning in at least trying the problem myself first.

Without having much money to invest in contracting out the solution, its sort of a necessity too.

I agree with the legal and tax stuff though.

Interested in how you approach those grey areas where your skillset and interest align for the problem but might be better to contract out. How do you budget?
