What Done-For-You Services Need from Clients

Do you know when it’s time to do things yourself, and when you should hand them off? Are you so busy that you can’t spare the hours to learn a new skill—or are you in a spot where investing that time could pay off for years to come? In this episode, I talk with Mark Chapman about the art of knowing when to DIY your online advertising—and when to trust an expert. We ask: How do you balance your time and money to get the results you want? What are the clues that a task is better left to a pro? And how does learning new skills in advertising actually improve every part of your marketing?

Listen to this new episode for practical decision-making tips on when to do it yourself, when to delegate, and how to get the most value—and results—from your advertising efforts.
