Outsource might be non-zero-sum, but partner is definitely zero-sum. The former might free up managerial focus, the latter definitely consumes managerial focus. Globalism will only work if you can stop wasting managerial focus, and start using that managerial focus to create new categories that are a long way from being outsourced.

Being a sole practioner, I could easily relate to it. It has helped me focus on my passion and skills and 'outsourced' other activities. Ultimately it results in the growth of the business. Thanks.

I am now reading your book and I appreciate a lot. Even my young son of 18 years old, is very enthousiast of this way of thinking that challenge our paradigms. Thanks I Stephen,

I know all too well how easy it is to steer off course due to microfocusing in one area that I feel most comfortable in. This offers a way to look at the areas I'm not so comfortable in and make a choice to handle them by either outsourcing, partnering or rethinking. Simple and Great stuff! It's the kind of thing I'd call "freebox thinking"! Thank you Stephen for this clear, complete and concise way of viewing the daunting world of “solo-preneurship”.

If you can achieve the right amount of passion, skills and value you can be successful in whatever it is you want to achieve.
