Hi Rob: Outsourcing the time consuming tasks is a necessity; however, what is never addressed is the fact that it takes
an enormous amount of time and patience to deal with the people doing work for you. Most often newbies don't have the adequate language to convey what they need. Consequently, the situation is a costly mine field of frustration and lack-luster results. For example, it's not enough to hire out the task of building a good converting squeeze page. The copywriting, white space placement, font, graphics and video placement require expertise that is seldom found on oDesk or other outsourcing sites for that matter.

As you might imagine, many of the insights gained from the frustration and missteps in the endless hands-on tasks of setting up a business become the cornerstone of experience and expertise that can't be reproduced in a system. In the end, only those with determination, persistence, and a budget are going to get through the intensive learning curve. If you can package those elements then you can turn everyone into a success and more power to you.
