A short YouTube talk by Peter Vander Wall advising business owners to treat their business as an investment, understand what is required to grow it, and hire people to execute specific pieces—while retaining responsibility for the overarching growth strategy. The speaker warns that outsourcing strategy or relying solely on external strategies amounts to abdicating the owner’s primary role.

You need to look at your business like an investment, and you need to understand what it's going to take to grow the business. And then you go hire people for those individual pieces of the puzzle. But you are abdicating your one job as a business owner, the one thing that only you can do. If you are asking other people to come in and hoping that their external strategy is going to work for you.
