Excellent post, Yaro! And right on time, for me, as I’m doing the 12 hour work day, like a madwoman! Sick thing is, I enjoy every second of it- it’s a learning experience.
I think you’re absolutely right, it takes its toll, but I haven’t matured yet. Reading your article made me think of the teacher’s role- you try to explain yourself as best as you can, but sometimes, us grasshoppers, have to find it out for ourselves. nothing beats experience, and after a few years of our own 12-hour work days, I think the information will sink in. And we’ll remember Yaro’s post, in the backs of our heads, and come back, so we can finally outsource, too.
Nothing like having your own entrepreneur’s journey

I think what would be useful for people would be to list some websites where people can get virtual assistants and outsource work online. Below is a brief list of the websites I know (some of the info is sourced from 4 hour work week):
Elance
American Express Platinum Concierge
Ask Sunday
ODesk
Get Friday (Your Man in India)
Do My Stuff
Amazon’s Mechanical Turk
Craigslist
Workaholics for Hire
Brickwork India
iFreelance
Scriptlance
Guru
Agents of Value
Rent a coder
Refer to Tim Ferris’ 4 hr work week website for more information. If anybody else has any websites they can list, please list them here.

Hi Yaro,

I couldn’t agree with you more! Getting support is the smartest thing any entrepreneur can do. We offer VA services and often first time entrepreneurs are hesitant. But once they see the results of that support they say the same thing: Wish we had done it earlier!

Hello Yaro,

Just want to say that this is a very informative post that can help me in my first step towards my newly create online business (www.imallow.com). Right now I’m on the verge of exploring and reading articles that can help me market, generate enormous traffic, and make money on my website.

I think this is one those information that I’m looking. Thank you for sharing!

Best Regards,
Wendell

Yaro,
This article came at a perfect time for me. I am getting ready to start a new project and I was planning to outsourcing some of my responsibilities. Before I read your article I didn’t know if outsources from the beginning was a smart thing to do. I am earning an income through my other blogs and could use that income to pay a admin assistant for this new project.
Anyway, I just want to thank you for writing this article. It was very helpful

This is a great post. I agree about the comment on attitude as well. You need to have and stay positive through rough times. Any business will have issues growing, and those who become demotivated are doomed for failure.
