[AccessD] OT:Building your business was... Rate for first time

Ron,
I hire subcontractors for things I can't pick up without a huuge delay, or
things I just don't care to learn or for that matter do at all. Also,
sometimes I just find another contractor and turn the whole thing over to
them rather than subcontract it. Depends on my relationship with the client.

What I have concerns about is, what happens when a client needs
something that I don't know how to do without learning first or
(shudder) what happens if I screw something up? I'm a little dual
personality about my skills; I'm proud that I'm come as far as I have
with no formal training and no credentials, but it also causes me to
think twice about trying independent work. So the question is, I'm
actually pretty good, but am I good enough? How do you tell, other
than by jumping in? Should that affect the rate at all?

Thanks for any considered response.

Ron
